Goosetown

Tap to rate

Light, citrusy tartness meets a bready malt character and a touch of coriander spice in this 4.9% Gose, golden-orange under a thick white foam head. It is named after a part of historic New Ulm, the Minnesota town where Schell's has brewed since 1860. The brewery's invitation: let loose with a 'goose'.

Entry is crisp and tart, with pronounced citrusy tartness balanced by a light bready Malz sweetness. Mid-palate develops gentle coriander spice and a subtle salt note typical of the Gose style, maintaining freshness throughout. Bitterness remains restrained at 10 IBU, allowing the tart and spice character to shine.
