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.

Lichtenhainer Ritterguts Weisse, Flasche von Hopfen & Malz im Wedding, längere Zeit daheim gelagert. - Goldgelb, klar - aber halt: ich habe ja vergessen, die Hefe aufzuschütteln, wie es das Etikett verlangt. - In der Nase zartes helles Malz, blasse Zitrone, Zitronenschale und ganz feine, keineswegs unangenehme säuerliche Züge, vielleicht ein Hauch von Schinken. - Antrunk deutlicher aber immer noch mild säuerlich (milchsauer), blaß hellmalzig mit Weißbrot und ein klein wenig unfrisch (hefig-muffig). Rauchige Aromen sind kaum zu erschmecken, allenfalls eine ganz blasse holzige Note. Schlank, milder rezent, erfrischend. Im Abgang milde Herbe mit leichten Altersnoten, die von ferne an Limburger Käse erinnern, blasse Zitrone. - Trotz leichter aromatischer Schwächen ein angenehmes, erfrischendes und rundes Sommergetränk. Milder als das Wöllnitzer Weißbier, das ich ebenfalls aus einer gut abgelagerten Flasche verkostet habe. (19.3.2023.)

Optisch sattes Gold, feine Perlung, Schaum passt. In der Nase ganz dezent Rauch, Schinken. Im Trunk leicht säuerlich, sehr dezent rauchig, aber irgendwie fehlt mir dann doch noch etwas Körper. Wässrig. Hinten trocken.

Undated bottle from Tap and Bottle North fridge, drunk 2/12/23. Started with a no-sediment pour and it's a light-amber-golden-bronze. Medium, off-white/light-beige head showing moderately-strong retention. Some vague oxidative and metallic notions, though they mostly pass with warming/breathing. Fairly well-lagered souring isn't punchy or sharply lactic. Adjuncts aren't overdone, I don't even think I could get a sense of what's in this blind. No alcohol. Bready malts with light fruitiness and hints of spice on the finish. Soft and malty with a good dose of lactic acidity, though far from overbearing. Good attenuation, good depth with orange, red fruit, dry, subtle caramel and strong salinity. Bergamot peel adding bitterness to the finish but it's really tastefully done in the adjunct department. Still, nothing too compelling for me here; certainly not the complexity and interest of some of the other beers in this brewer's portfolio.
