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.

Aroma was of flowers and coriander. Appearance was a gold/copper color with a nice lacy head. Palate was light and smooth. It tasted salty, herbal, coriander. It was very refreshing. I could drink this all day long (if it weren’t expensive). This really hit the spot. I’d definitely get this again.

Brought to MrFacto’s ’Tosa tasting by 1FastSTi. Hazy orange body, medium off-white head. Earthy hops aroma with notes of caramel and flower petals. Hoppy flavor with very light malt presence, salty, lightly buttery, and with hints of spice. Touches of biscuit and grassy hops. Overall quite thin-bodied and quite tame, almost adjuncty. Certainly doesn’t do anything to evoke a "close relationship to the renowned Lambic/Gueze breweries" as the description states.

Pours a hazy red/amberous color. Aroma of appples, salt and honey. Flavor is wheaty with salt and honey coming in. Palate is somewhat thin and dry, VERY interesting brew. Thanks to 1FastSTI for sharing this one!

Slightly hazy amber body, white head. Salty, dark wheat bread crust and cardomon in the aroma. Dry malty flavor with leafy hops, salty peanut shells and sweaty socks. A unique and funky beer, just not a good kind of lambic funky.

Very pale yellow orange color with lots of clouds. Light wheaty aroma with some malt notes. Salt not all that dominant, in taste. Slightly acidic and kind of thin watery finish.

I know my bottle didn’t look anything like the picture, but more of a traditional German 16 oz’er. My first foray into a Gose style and unless there are better representations of the style, probably my last. Pours cloudy gold with a tight head and some lacing. First whiff gives me spices, wheat and lemon zest. Taste is both sour and yeasty without much maltiness (or hop presence for that matter). Flavors are clove and a dryness I can’t describe. A unique beer for sure but I wouldn’t drink this again. So it Gose.

A style I always wanted to try since I read about it in MJ’s Beer Companion. Densely clouded amber hue, floating black particles, fine streams of carbonation. Clean malty wheat aroma, mild clove, fairly peppery and salty. Pretty clean malty palate with mild banana touches, salty especially in the finish. I love salty flavors but overall the beer just needs a little something else from somewhere. Unique in style but doesn’t really stand out.

Burning paper (?), salty aroma with some citrusy notes. Intriguing and bizarre. Hazy dull amber with shy, white, fully-diminishing head. Sharp pear-like flavour is vegetal and has salty and sufurous notes to it with a sour finish. Smooth fair carbonation but light almost watery body. And our bottle didn’t look nearly as pretty as the picture! Sampled with MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere.
