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. 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.

500 ml bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.3%. Pale golden colour, large white head. Wheaty aroma, hints of fart and smoke. Fizzy mouthfeel. Medium sour flavour, notes of lactic acid and lightly smoked wheat malts, also some fruity notes reminiscent of yellow plums. Low bitterness. Not bad, not great, historically interesting - but there is probably a reason that the Lichtenhainer beer style died out.

500mL bottle, best before December 2018, from the cooler, drunk 8/29/22. Clear, amber-brass. Large, butter-colored, off-white head is large, steadily fizzling out to a somewhat dense cover. Very wine-like in the nose, though not from prune/plum/raisin, but rather an elegant, refined acidity reminiscent of the boisterous red fruit of an Austrian red. Jammy almost with big strawberry and raspberry. Must be the coriander and pine mixing with the normal yeast character. Whatever the case, it's fantastic, clean and aromatic. Soft, succulent, malty and rich with good attenuation and even better acidity on the finish. Coriander further dries things out at length, while the boisterous red fruit and playful acidity, still reminiscent of an Austrian red wine, lingers. Don't get traditional smokiness, but you can tell it's there if you look for it (more in the peppery phenol undertones). Just an incredible balance to both malt, lactic acid and adjunct with no big pininess, nor overabundance of coriander. This is some pretty god damned special stuff and now I want to try all of their beers and visit their brewery.

Thin, malty, bready, citrusy and just a bit smoky. A sour touch, lightly noticeable. Also a sweet touch, slightly prevailing. Moderate carbonation, light finish.

On tap at BeerGeek Bar, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is pretty timid, with straw, not much else. Flavour has a gentle smokiness, a touch of tartness, and straw. Gently smoky, gently tart, and wheaty. Pleasant but nothing special.

Many thanks David. Fruity sour nose. The beer starts mild yeasty, fruity parts. Easy to drink, a bit weak with a mild soft sour graininess. Yeast, mild sour, refreshing with mild yeast. Not as sour or smoked as expected.
