The Gose Thread

Boulevard Hibiscus Gose is excellent. The hibiscus gives it a hint of a raspberry vibe. Definitely great for warm weather.

 

I agree with you on the Real Ale version, almost tasted like a Lime-a-rita or something. But I'm looking forward to revisiting soon.

AV The Kimmie is so damn good, so that will be a go-to for me over the summer. I'll throw the Blood Orange version in from time to time for variation.

When in NYC, I'll try to drink as much Ritterguts as possible, and will certainly have a few WB Goses.

I'm hoping to see a lot more breweries take a hack at this style this summer though.

 

Oh yes. This is enjoyable too, although a little light on the salt.

 

Wait, there is a Boulevard Gose? Where have I been? Not the same style, but heard that Live Oak is going to make a Berliner, though I have no idea when that will be released, and it is just a rumor.

 

Their website confirms that they're making one and says it should be out in April. So excited.

I'm eager to see more Berliners too! And given what I've heard about Live Oak, I bet you they'd make an excellent one. Looking forward to the hefe here in a few weeks.

 

Damn. Hope that means the first week in April. I'd love to try it. I'd also love to try the Roggenbier (never had the style before) if it's still around at the end of this month.

 

Another one to put on people's radars: Destihil's Wild Series Gose. I haven't had it yet, but I've had other goses from them and enjoyed.

 

I tried Rapp gose when I was in Tampa last summer. It was probably the best I've had.

 

For me, Westbrook is the best, especially when fresh. Nothing else comes close.

The AV Blood Orange is great for the citrus punch, but the Kimmie is more tart and more salty, so pick your poison (both excellent)

DeGarde Hose and Nelson Hose are both amazing. And if it gets made again, Gose Gone Wild too.

I have a growler of Rapp waiting for me to drink it - will report back on that one soon.

 

This x 1000.

 

Hey, they have updated their website for once. I have been so use to outdated info their that I stopped checking a long time ago.

 

I take it back; that Rapp is disgusting. Send it down here so I can dispose of it in accordance with my hazmat training.

I liked Westbrook a lot, but it's kind of like a DIPA to me. Sometimes I don't want my flavor cranked to 11.

 

Martin House's gose, The Salty Lady, is back. This year's feels more grapefruit forward than last year's (I remember it being more lemon forward). They did a limited draft only run recently with part going into white wine barrels for release later this summer with a third brewing going into cans.

 

My trading partner loved Real Ale Gose. I thought it tasted like Bud Light Lime. Hopefully they tweak the recipe.

 

You'll see Hibiscus Gose return in six packs and on draft in May:

Martin House Salty Lady and AV Gose are good but Westbrook Gose reigns supreme. Really hoping Prairie decides to kick up their lime gose and bottle it.

 

I had Comes and Gose by Odell last night and really enjoyed it. I've only had it and Real Ale's gose, so I'm still very new to the style.

 

I used to think Westbrooks Gose was the best, until I tasted Nelson Hose and Gose Gone Wild... but of what we can get here, the Boulevard Hibiscus Gose is quite good, albeit different from a traditional Gose, and so is the blood orange Gose...would happily drink either one of those ( after I ran out of Westbrook lol)
