🌍 Canada · Gose · One of 24 Goses in hopIQ

Brewed after the Leipzig model, with salted water and coriander seed over pilsner, pale, wheat and oat malt. The acidity frames everything: tart lemon and a lemonade-like sharpness up front, then the citrus-and-pepper edge of coriander, then a clear saline note on the swallow. The body is thin and briskly carbonated, bitterness almost absent at 9 IBU, and the finish short, dry and salty.

Very dry and crisp.

A direct pour that closes clean — trim and sharp, working together to keep things moving.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Gose

Appearance

Very pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, effervescent character. A fine white head forms readily and clings to the glass with crisp Schaumhaftung. The beer presents a visibly brisk carbonation that sustains throughout the pour.

pale straw yellowcrystal clearfine white headbriskly carbonated

Aroma

The nose leads with tart lemon and citrus notes that evoke fresh lemonade. Coriander seed introduces a gentle spice and pepper character, while a mineral saltiness rounds out the aromatic profile without dominating. The malt base remains delicate and restrained, allowing the botanical and acidic elements to shine.

Taste

Acidity frames the entire palate: an initial bright tartness gives way to lemonade-like sharpness, followed by the citrus-and-pepper edge of coriander seed. A clear saline note emerges on the swallow, providing mineral definition. Bitterness is nearly absent at 9 IBU, and the thin, crisp body allows these flavours to move cleanly across the tongue without obstruction.

Finish

The finish is short, dry, and distinctly salty. The aftertaste fades quickly, leaving behind a clean saline edge and residual tartness that invites another sip.
