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.

Bouteille 50cl @ RBBSG III, courtesy of Jef. Dorée trouble moyen, col blanc léger. Arôme est léger présentant un très beau bouquet minéral et salin typique de ce style accompagné de légères effluves acidulées et épicé de coriandre. Palais est léger, acidulé léger aussi, pointe amer houblonné, malt de blé rappelant une base de blanche, léger sour mash procurant une fine note acidulé en bouche, cela étant balancé avec le profil salé. Style unique, et encore une fois, proche de ce que l’on retrouve en Belgique.

500 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG III. Thanks to JefVerstraete! Clear golden, off-white head. Nose is this very German lactic sourness, makes me think of a Berliner Weisse, sour wheat, touch plastic, touch lemon / very sour green apple. Taste is lactic sour wheat, thinking Berliner Weiss once again, citrus, quite sour for the syle, green apple, touch sweeter grain. Lactic wheat body. feels very traditional, nice beer even if not entirely my personal preference.

Sampled @ RBBSG III. Clear light orange color, small off-white head. Smell and taste are a bit sourish like green apple peel. Dry finish. Hmm not really my kind of beer.

Refrigerated 0.5 L brown bottle poured into a glass. Pours clear golden with small off-white head which dissipates quickly. Aroma is tart, light body, medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is tart, refreshing, salt, and a hint of coriander. I slightly prefer Westbrook gose over this from my recollection. Good beer

Flaske fra Matkroken Stokka: fint hvitt skum som forsvinner raskt. Tydelig aroma av surhet (melkesyrebakteriene), salt og koriander - en interessant kombinasjon som også kommer frem i smaken. En særegen stilart, meget forfriskende etter å ha klippet plenen på fellesområdet. Frister absolutt til gjentagelse.

Ein kleines Experiment: eine Flasche (50 cl) des Jahrgangs 2011 mit MHD 8/2013, etwa 2 Jahre im Keller gelagert. - Dunkles Goldgelb, nur noch wenig trüb (da die Hefe sich am Flaschenboden abgesetzt hat). - Intensiv fruchtig-säuerliche Nase wie von gutem Cidre, vielleicht mit einem Hauch von Sauerkraut (gutes Sauerkraut, nicht das billige aus der Dose). - Im Antrunk deutliche aber fruchtig-milde Säure wie von sauren Äpfeln. Herb und spritzig. Mild rezent, frisch. Trockener Abgang; leicht herber, fruchtig-säuerlicher Nachtrunk. Keine Spur von Hopfenbittere, auch Koriander und Salz sind nicht mehr zu erschmecken. Enorm erfrischend und durststillend. - Durch die lange Lagerung ist die Gose milder geworden, säuerliche Fruchtaromen dominieren. Das Ergebnis erinnert sehr an einen trockenen Apfelwein. Das überraschende Fazit: Ritterguts Gose ist lagerfähig, aber das Ergebnis schmeckt eher nach Apfelwein als nach Bier ...

Leicht trübes orangegoldenes Bier mit geringer Schaumkrone. Geruch nach Citrus, Kraut, Gewürze, genauso ist auch der Geschmack.
