German beer type
Gose
Gose is a warm fermented beer that is usually brewed with at least 50% of the grain bill being malted wheat, fruit syrups – such as lemon and coriander – and salt – either added or as a component of the water used.
It acquires its characteristic sourness through inoculation with Lactobacillus bacteria, which is not a hop-tolerant bacteria and which provides only a light acidity. Gose beers typically have very little hop aroma or bitterness, limited malt flavour, and a relatively low alcohol content of 4 to 5% alcohol by volume. The predominant flavor is lactic acid, and the beers are strongly carbonated.
