    I've come to the conclusion that I don't really love any of them. I've had the ones from Wesbrook, Anderson Valley, B. Bahnhof, Ritterguts, TRVE, and a few others. I just don't think it's my thing. I enjoy Gozu, but calling it a Gose is like calling Bud Light Lime a pilsner.

    Love the Westbrook and the AV is solid, but there was a local in Richmond, VA that was really tasty from Strangeways: Wake Me Up Before You Gose. I wish I'd have bought a few more of that one.

    A new style to me. I would like to see it brewed during the summer months due to the low ABV and efervescence. Have not had many but really enjoyed Stillwater Gose Gone Wild and Boulevard Hibiscus Gose.

    Local Option here in Chicago used to brew a gose, Schmetterling Gose, really top notch stuff. Right now I'd say that it's a toss between Westbrook and Troublesome from Off Color, although the Freigeist Rhubarb Gose is excellent as well

    Tried my first Gose ever a few weeks ago. It was an Anderson Valley The Kimmie, The Yink, and The Holy Gose. I enjoyed it very much so and it had a nice salty-sour taste. Makes me want to try the the Blood Orange Gose.

    So I recently tried Otra vez, thought it was weird.. About a month later and I'm craving the Crap out of it. Thoroughly enjoying it now. Got a Westbrook gose six pack and love it too. Seems like those are two ends of the spectrum, one light and more fruit, and one being more aggressive and sour.

    What are some in between? Or rather, what are your favorite 5 goses that you all that drink them regularly would recommend now that I've had these?

    Cheers

    Leipziger is my benchmark... also some of the variants done by those Braustelle guys are quite interesting.

    The world of course has more Gose thanks to me as everyone knows :wink:

    My favorites have been Gose Gone Wild, Older Pro Gose and Westbrooks Gose.. though the first two aren't readily accessible.

    A couple other that I have really liked that aren't crazy hard to find are Anderson Valley Gose and regular Old Pro Gose.

    Good call on the Union Old Pro Gose, one of my favorites along with Victory Kirch Gose. Haven't seen the Older Pro, will keep a sharp eye posted tho.

    Echoing the previous Lost Nation Gose post, it is excellent, also their The Wind. Super Spruce from Grimm is excellent as well. Anderson Valley offerings should be easy for you to find too.
