Gose

The “Gose” (pronounced Goh-zeh) is a a medium yellow colored, highly-carbonated, tart and fruity-tasting wheat ale with a restrained coriander and salt character and low bitterness. The “Traditional Gose” is spontaneously fermented; however, top-fermenting ale yeast can be pitched for primary fermentation. The “Contemporary Gose” uses the kettle-sour method to achieve the sour aspect of gose, rather than longer mixed-culture fermentations. Very refreshing, with bright flavors and high attenuation. Perceived acidity is not as intense as Berliner Weisse or Gueuze. Can have an Coriander aroma similar to a Witbier and an haziness similar to a Weissbier.
