COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is our interpretation of Gose (pronounced “Gose-uh”), a traditional German-style sour wheat beer brewed with coriander and salt. Once nearly extinct, this very refreshing style is making a comeback.

Atheist_Peace (737) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - JUN 14, 2013
Tap at Ginger Man. Cloudy yellow pour with lots of very fine white head. The nose is...strange. Funky sea salt aromas dominate with a tart citrus note underneath. Lemon/severely underripe mandarin orange. A lot of the same transfers to the palate. Moderate sourness, lemon zest, Finishes with a salty little kick. My first gose but very tasty.

Not a whole lot on the nose, brett, lemon, slight sweetness. Taste is good amount of sourness, a bit funky, fairly dry, salty. You do get some of the wheat flavors coming through. Finishes with a nice clean tart palate.

ApisAles (1421) - Greenbelt, Maryland, USA - JUN 10, 2013
Bottle. Cloudy yellow pour. Tangy acidic nose with some coriander notes. Mostly just really nice lactic acidity. Flavor delivers more of the same. Great bright acidity with some coriander notes and just a hint of salt. Really nice Gose.

Best gose Ive ever had. Really nice spiced beer with just the right amount of salt to add something to the finish that makes you want more. Just tasty and unique with lemon and coriander.

icehawk (201) - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, USA - MAY 27, 2013
Aroma: Lemon, Avgolemono. Appearance: Hazy yellow/gold with thin white head. Taste: Fairly intense sour taste, with a saltiness. Palate: Very lively, thin body. Dry and tart finish, that dissipates quickly, leaving me wanting more. Overall: Such a cool style of beer; light, lively and refreshing. Not too sour, incredibly refreshing, and so easy to drink. Would love to see this show up in cans, perfect beach beer.

coolpop (1202) - Birmingham, Alabama, USA - DEC 26, 2012
UPDATED: MAY 30, 2013 Draft. Poured a hazy straw with a thin white head. Aroma and flavor were very lemony, tart, acidic, quite clean, lightly briny. Light palate. Very refreshing. Took me a few minutes to adjust, but in the end I liked it a lot.

Bottle shared by a kind soul at PaulUnwin’s sour tasting. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head. Nose is light malt, citrus, big salt, some pepper, and some sour grapefruit. Flavor follows: salt and pepper, light citrus, and some sour grapefruit. Nice interpretation of the style.
