Description
In 1824 master brewer Johann Philipp Ledermann came to the small village Döllnitz near Halle and started brewing Gose at Döllnitz Manor. The brewery continued to brew gose till WW 2. After the war the manor brewey was dismantled and the original gose was brewed at several places up till 2015.

Since 2015 we brew our "Original Ritterguts Gose" in close collaboration with Brauerei Reichenbrand in Chemnitz. This small, classic family-brewery fulfills all the requirements necessary for the optimization of our very special brewing process -- in particular the availability of open-fermentation, which we consider a primary component in making a proper gose.

Bottle LCBO in Toronto. Wow, this is delightful. Soft bready malts, mildly sweet with a mild sourness. Really well balanced. That salt makes things pop, and it's indistinct but the cilantro makes things almost juicy.

Bottle from the Packie
Lightly hazy medium gold color with a decent sized tightly bubbled white head that persists. Bready crackery maltiness with hints of salty lemon. Light lemony tart slight saline under a bready cereal graininess. Light tart pretty tasty.

Short-lived off-white head over hazy ochre-orange beer. Putty, paint, orangepeel, coriander, faintly coloured malts, potter's clay. Sour, sour oranges, bit mineral. Lactic acid, flavours as from spicy Sauerkraut. Cloved orangepeel, sorrel, orangeblossom. Light body, well-carbonated, faint acidburn. Special, original! Bärentöter... Do I get some Karl May influences? Purchased @ Getränkefeinkost Leipzig

Poured orange brown yellow from bottle, if that's a thing. Anyway it was like the others of the genre, slightly maltier. Pretty good.
