Hirsch

Tap to rate

A traditional gose brewed with wheat and barley malts, salt and coriander and soured with lactic bacteria. It is pale and light, with a slender body and almost no bitterness. What defines it is a marked acidity, joined by mineral notes from the salt and a spicy touch from the coriander.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hirsch

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, delicate white head that settles to a thin collar with modest lacing. The carbonation is visible and lively, creating a soft effervescence that supports the beer's refreshing character.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright, zesty citrus notes mingled with a subtle herbal quality from the coriander. Beneath these sits a faint mineral saltiness and a whisper of clean grain from the wheat and barley malts, kept understated and balanced rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is crisp and gently acidic, with a marked sourness from lactic fermentation that defines the profile. Mid-palate brings a saline minerality and a subtle pepper-like spiciness, while bitterness remains almost absent, allowing the acidity and salt to drive the flavor. The body is lean and slender, never heavy or cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and quick, with the acidity lingering pleasantly on the palate without overshadowing the delicate mineral and spice notes. A clean, refreshing aftertaste invites another sip.
