    Ritterguts is my favorite gose by far. Victory Kirsch Gose and Westbrook are also pretty good.

    I did really enjoy Victory Kirsch as well.

    Older Pro was brewery only if I'm not mistaken. There were a couple different versions that had fruit added to them and were fantastic.

    I don't have five but a couple I really like and seek out regularly; Anderson Valley's Blood Orange Gose is really good and seems to be easy to find. Not sure if you get Grimm in your area, but their Super Going is one of my favorite Goses.

    I've got another vote for Grimm, but it was Super Spruce that blew me away.

    For the OP in Alabama the top 5 listed are widely distributed. I liked them all except I wasn't too fond of Otra Vez.

    For the Maryland guys...Union's Old Pro I enjoyed and had the most sour punch of any Gose's I've had to date.
    Victory's Kirsch Gose I found delicious but at $10-$12 a 4 pack it wasn't exactly a sessionable price for a sessionable brew. Can't exactly replace a bucket of Corona's with that for a day at the beach or I'd go broke.
    Brewer's Alley Old Man Ransom Ale was tasty and well done.
    Devil's Backbone has a Cranberry Gose in cans out now. I enjoy the flavor, but man the smell is the worst of any I've had. Rotten sulfur eggs big time noticed in that one.

    Westbrook and Lost Nation are 2 of my favorites as well but hard to get in MD. The Wind by Lost Nation is phenominal.

    I always try to have an Anderson Valley Gose in the fridge. I liked Union Old Pro Gose the most, I think, but it is limited distribution.

    As a slight tangent, if you like Gose, have you tried any Berliner Weiss options? Both styles for me are perfect session beers (especially in summertime).

    All of Westbrooks, the margarita gose was incredible.

    Omnipollo Bianca Mango Lassi was quite good. However, it was a second reminder to me that I should avoid beers with lactose.

    Another recommendation for the non-traditional Geyser Gose.

    Leipziger is my favorite as well with a distant second place to Two Roads/Evil Twin.

    Although I don't live where I can call Destihl's Wild Sour Series beers a regular of mine... I loved the Here Gose Nothin' and the same "gose" for The Kimmie, The Yink & The Holy Gose Ale by Anderson Valley Brewing Co. The seasonal release from Boulevard called Hibiscus Gose is great as well as the Brombeere Blackberry Gose from Odell. I am a fan of the very tart & very sour side of the spectrum though... Otra Vez did not impress me, but I will be revisiting it again sometime soon with an aged for 5 months bottle and a fresh tap pour. Those would be my recommendations. Cheers! :wink:

    It's unconventional to style, but my top Gose is Perennial's Suburban Beverage. Rounding out the top five (in no real order):
    - Union Old Pro
    - Off Color Troublesome
    - Anderson Valley KYHG
    - Most recently, SN Otra Vez

    Agree with most of the previous posts, Super Spruce, Westbrook, Gose Gone Wild, and AV blood orange. I've only had it once so far, but the new one by Anderson Valley, Briney Melon is superb. It's by far my favorite of the 3 that they make.
