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.

0.5 l bottle from 'AleHub', best before June 2023. Hazy, golden with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, white head. Slightly sweetish, minimally sourish, moderately fruity and maybe a little smoky aroma of lemon peel, sauerkraut and pickles. Slightly sweet, minimally sourish, moderately fruity and a little smoky taste of grains, sauerkraut, pickles, lemon peel and a touch of smoked eel, followed by a short, minimally tart, gently dry finish. Thin to medium body, fairly effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Very refreshing, superbly balanced Lichtenhainer, only faintly smoky and hardly sour but totally harmonious. Great session stuff.

Very good, ultra-dense & fine, just off-white head, lacey, over cloudy yellow beer. Phenolic, lactic acid, smoke, mineral, various herbs, dried lemonpeel. And ironoxide wafting from the (too) stable head. Smoke more outspoken in the flavour, Rauchmalz, ham, bit refreshing and a bit lemony (the wheat?). Not really sour, less phenolic than the nose, and pretty balanced! Light body, very good carbonation, head giving a creamy feel. Another oh-so-interesting revival. Like it, really. Txs to Joren for bringing!

Bottle at Salon piva. Light sourness, med-light bitterness, slightly minerally. Quite light smoke, med-light bready wheaty flavour. Overall pretty characterless though, very neutral, nothing really stands out. Drinkable, but not great.

Bottle. Amber gold, slightly murky. Smell: Cold apple sour salt. Taste: Refreshing, sour, sparkly. A tiiiiny fruit-sticky aftertaste, but more in the sense of cider or Federweißer - makes you want another sip, not a different beer to get rid of the taste ;) Decent.
