Ritterguts Gose is the oldest existing, most authentic Gose in the world. We still brew this unique beer in the old-fashioned, original way, using genuine Gose yeast, coriander and salt. Ritterguts Gose's refreshing characteristics are developed through a secondary lactic fermentation, which produces a round and harmonious acidity. Its rare, classic open fermentation and long, cold maturation make it exceptionally well-balanced, the way a real Gose was meant to be. Enjoy a taste of the finest Leipzig tradition!

De OkassionalBeer. En copa de jefe de Paulaner. Documentando @firma. Perfil alimonado muy refrescante y con buena corpulencia para ese abv. No obstante, no termino de costumbre al toque salino, se me hace de trago lento y no me deja con ganas de repetirla

Bottle from the Packie
Lightly hazy medium gold color with a decent sized tightly bubbled white head that persists. Bready crackery maltiness with hints of salty lemon. Light lemony tart slight saline under a bready cereal graininess. Light tart pretty tasty.

First time trying this. 500 ml bottle. Cloudy, honey-colored. Bread, spice, straw aroma. Nicely carbonated. Sour (not too sour) lemony taste with spicey, and a bit salty finish. Really refreshing. Would be great on a hot summer day. Really nice beer.

500 ml bottle. Pours deep golden with tall, long-lasting, fluffy white head and nice lacing. Aroma is of barnyard yeast, sweet, bready malt and spices. Body is medium and tangy. Taste is very sour, barnyard yeast, pale malt, coriander and citrus fruit fill the mouth. Finish is long, sour and a little salty. Great brew.

At my lady Pamela's house; bottled and slightly chilled, 500mL in a pint glass. From the Huron Church Rd. LCBO in nearby Windsor. Best before December 2026. My first beer from the Chemnitz, Germany brewery. With Sundae the cat...

Huh, so this is what a gose is “supposed” to taste like. Quite nice, light and earthy, slightly sour with lemon sourness, an herbal characteristic, and a strong saltiness. I think it is great.

500ml bottle. No dating information found.
Cloudy, pale gold colored body. Brief white head. No lacing.
Aroma of peach, lemon, pear, coriander and salt.
Taste is lemon, peach and pear, coriander, and salt.
Medium mouth feel, with some syrup. Very good carbonation.
Presents as a very traditional gose, with salt backing up the slightly sour fruit flavors. Modest spice.

Had on tap. Cloudy amber body, visible carbonation feeds the white head. Standard sour wheat, lemon, orange, and salt in the nose. Taste is a touch more complex with some white grape, green apple and a hint of coriander. Well rounded gose with light tartness, higher carbonation does cut the wheat character a bit. No real weaknesses but doesn't exactly stand out either
