Union Craft Brewing
Tap to rate
🌍 United States · Gose · One of 13 Goses in hopIQ

Union's take on the German gose — tart and quenching, brewed with wheat, coriander, and sea salt for a bright lemony acidity, a clean saline snap, and a dry, refreshing finish over a soft wheat body. The laid-back summer beer that fits any occasion.

Very dry and crisp.

A trim frame with a clean break — the beer says what it needs to and moves on.

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

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Old Pro

Appearance

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and a bright, luminous quality. The head forms thin and delicate, settling to a fine collar with modest lacing. Carbonation is visible and lively, creating a gentle effervescence that speaks to the beer's refreshing nature.

Aroma

The nose leads with bright lemony citrus and wheat grain, followed by a subtle herbaceous note from coriander. A mineral, saline quality emerges as the beer warms, suggesting the sea salt character without being overtly salty. The overall impression is clean and summery, with no yeast esters or oxidative notes.

Taste

The palate opens with tart acidity and a crisp wheat base that feels soft and approachable on entry. Mid-palate reveals the coriander spice and a distinct saline snap that adds complexity without harshness. Bitterness is restrained at just 10 IBU, allowing the tartness and salt to drive the flavor profile.
