Salz und Säure

Tap to rate

The house take on a traditional gose, lightly kettle soured and brewed with coriander and salt. It pours hazy pale blonde under a small white head. Salt sits plainly on the finish, carried by a firm lactic tartness and a lemon note that shades into citrus peel, with the coriander behind it as a faint spice. Carbonation is lively, the body slim, and the close dry and quenching rather than sweet.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a crisp lemon note that evolves into citrus peel and dried citrus zest. Coriander emerges as a subtle spice in the background, adding an herbal dimension. A gentle saline minerality threads through, balanced by the beer's tart, fermented character from the lactic souring.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and dry, with firm lactic acidity setting the tone immediately. The midpalate carries citrus and a faint coriander note, while the salt sits distinctly on the palate, creating a savory sensation rather than sweetness. The body remains slim and lithe, allowing the interplay of acid, salt, and spice to shine without heaviness.

◑ Finish

Clean and quenching, the finish is defined by salt and lactic tartness rather than residual sweetness. The aftertaste lingers briefly with citrus peel and a mineral dryness, leaving the palate refreshed.
