COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Samuel Adams continues to expand their Small Batch Series in 2012. On the schedule is Verloren, and gose. There aren’t a lot of U.S. brewers making a gose, especially a brewery as large as Boston Beer. That’s probably why they dubbed it “Verloren” or “lost” beer . (It’s Dutch.) The style originated in Goselar, Germany in the 18th century. Gose became very popular the adjacent city of Leipzig, Germany due to a lot of local breweries brewing the style. Gose all but died out during WWII due to brewery closings. Expect this beer to have a touch of sourness, with notes of lemon & salt. A link to the ales of Saxony that had all but vanished, Gose is a peculiar yet captivating brew. With a base of an unfiltered wheat ale, it’s vivid and refreshing yet also has a softness to it. The flavor is brought to life by an unexpected touch of salt for a mineral quality, and coriander for a peppery spice. The result is an unusual and delicate brew that’s full of flavors to discover. Batch #1

Light, lagery, metallic. Some lime. No salt, maltier than expected. Kind of a let down. Some slight salt comes in when you get to the bottom of it.

crazyvin (1705) - New York, USA - APR 20, 2013
Initially it had a nice clear copper body and a white head that had some retention and nice lacing. Clarity faded as the sediment on the bottom began to stir which resulted in better retention. Aroma had a nice cereal note upfront, certainly could detect the coriander and an almost sour lemon note. Flavor had good balance nice wheat malts and some spice, there was a nice sourness in the finish. Salt was present, but seemed more like rock salt than sea salt or kosher. Still nice. Finish was smooth and it was light on the palate.

beersearcher (1974) - Glendale, California, USA - APR 8, 2013
Pours a dark yellow. Aroma is primarily boozy when I expect something more sprightly and light. Way too much caramel notes. Tastes more like a dubbel. Raisins abound and the salt is not there.
