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.

500 ml bottle from Vermont Beer Collective (formerly the Craft Beer Cellar) in Waterbury, Vermont. Hazy orange brown pour. Brief beige head. Spicy , funky malt aroma. Flavor is sweet and tangy with a hint of spice. Some lactic notes, but mostly a mix of dark fruits, orange, coriander and salt. Interesting. This might be my first Gose Bock.

Opaque, thin, lots of smokey, light body, mellow, some appley character. Wanted to like it, but it didn't really come together for me.

Bottle, undated as far as I can tell, drunk 1/28/24. Amber-cherry, clear. Small, beige head sits at cover for a bit. Cherry, fig and, initially, a ton of coriander. It wears off leaving light lactic acidity and plentiful fruitiness, with a bit of toast and jammy character. Lactic character is light. Moderate malt with lots of cherry, fig and toast. Dry finish. Eh, I don't think this one comes together as well as some of their others, though there's nothing really wrong with it either.
