Gose is a medieval top-fermented beer from the town of Goslar in Lower Saxony, Germany. Goslar’s brewing water was slightly salty due to nearby mining operations. To counteract the salt and balance their beers, brewers added coriander to their worts. Today’s Weyermann® adaptation also has a flavor addition of elderberry blossoms, called Holunder or Holler in German. Thus, aromas of elderberry and coriander rise above the brew. The color is matte straw yellow with a white crown of foam and the taste is a fresh and harmonious interplay of fruity, salty, sour and sweet notes that last well into a dry and refreshing finish.
This thirst-quenching, highly drinkable ale goes well with white fish, shrimp, or a fresh salad. It can also stand on its own as a spicy aperitif.
Ingredients: Water, Weyermann® barley malt, Weyermann® wheat malt, hops, elderberry (3%), coriander, salt, yeast
