White Gose

Tap to rate

Slightly sour, with notes of citrus and coriander: a special fermentation shapes this organic wheat beer, and salt goes in as well. Gose comes from Goslar and is named after the river Gose. Top-fermented, 4.5 %, light in colour. Budelse Brouwerij has been a pioneer in organic beer since 1999.

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and a bright, fine-bubbled head that displays good retention and lacing.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced coriander and fresh citrus notes—lemon zest and subtle orange—layered over soft wheat grain. A light, clean fermentation character emerges, free of phenolic or solvent notes, allowing the spice and citrus to lead. The salt component is present as a mineral backdrop rather than a dominant note, adding complexity without aggression.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a controlled tartness that sits at the center of the flavor profile, balanced by the wheaty, slightly sweet Malz foundation. Coriander blooms mid-palate with a gentle spice character, while citrus acidity threads through cleanly. The salt presence is subtle and savory, enhancing the overall refreshment without becoming briny; bitterness remains minimal, allowing these adjunct flavors to integrate naturally.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and quick-fading, with the tartness lingering briefly before giving way to a dry, slightly mineral aftertaste. The low bitterness leaves no harsh edges, making the beer highly drinkable and inviting another sip.
