Commercial Description:
Leipziger Gose is a top-fermenting wheat beer {60% wheat, 40% barley malt} with coriander, salt, and lactic acid bacteria added in the boil. It is a 4.6% alc/vol eclectic beer whose name evokes a close relationship to the renowned Lambic/Geuze breweries in the Valley Senne nearby Brussels, Belgium.

An unspectacular drink. Hazy orange with small creamy head. The aroma was wheaty, spicy, fruity. Medium body and watery texture. Flavor was uninspired. Mediocre wheat style beer.

I had a leinies right before this, and I didn’t realize that I had begun drinking something different. The aroma is a bit malty, but otherwise nothing doing. Pour is dark cloudy orange with a head that seems to have taken out a 30-day lease. Palate is bright, coppery (metallic), astringent, and crisp. Lactic acid is incredibly obvious, and not welcome. Finishes with a near-barley nose, but edges back toward a generic yeastiness. Not a major find for me.

Thin head. Slightly cloudy off orange, bubbley. Metallic notes in aroma. Taste has some citrus/wheat character, but also a corniness to it. Very light bodied. Pretty bland.

Large thanks to the tremendous trader willblake!

I certainly have a different bottle! The one in the Pic is very cool!
Pours a hazy copper body and a full white-capped head. The aroma and flavor are slightly bland but very refreshing. Notes of lemon, musty damp wheat, with a lovely tart yeastiness. You know… this slightly resembles the Berliner Weisse styling. Nice moldy blue cheese thing going on.. Very sharp, crisp and dry. Lovely complexity.. or what I perceive to be. Some notes of green apple sneak in next to some green grapes. I like it!

hmm. not quite sure what this is, exactly--well actually i am. it’s a wheaty, guezelike, salty, citrus beer that doesn’t seem to fit anywhere. worth a try.

Salty sour and lactic note with a citrus acidity . not something I plan on having a gain.

(500 ml bottle: $3.99 at Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido, CA) Well, based on the nose, this smells like an adjunct beer with a bit of caramel sweetness. The flavor is equally unimpressive, showing some light caramel/honey initially, with the saltiness and adjuncty wheat flavor taking over once the initial sweetness falls away. Coriander seems pretty light as I doubt I would have picked it out if it weren’t listed as an ingredient, but yeah, it is lightly spicy. Light to medium body, but the aftertaste just kind of hangs on the palate forever. Slightly hazy, medium amber color. Off-white head pours to a good size and shows solid retention, maintaining at least a thick film for the duration of the session. I was expecting much better than this. Not something I’d ever buy again.

4.8% abv in bottle. Spent $8.50 for a half liter but worht it imo... Excellent appearance of slightly cloudy orange yellow color with a kickass head. Aroma is dominated by freshly grinded coriander and a hind of salt. You can detect a slight bit of salt in the taste but not as much as I expected. Some slight bit of sourness and acid but not nearly as much as expectied for a lactic bacteria secondary fermnetation. Very refreshing and fun to drink. A definate plus that this beer can defy the rheinheitsgebot- as it adds spices etc....
