Ritterguts Gose
In 1824 the brewer Johann Philipp Ledermann brought a Gose recipe from Goslar to the manor of Döllnitz near Halle, whose brewhouse became the main supplier of the style to Leipzig. The site was dismantled in 1945 and the beer disappeared. Tilo Jänichen revived the brand in 1999, working from yeast and lactic cultures recovered from an old crate of original bottles. The company is based in Frohburg; since 2015 all beers have been brewed at the Bergt family's Reichenbrand works in Chemnitz, using open fermentation, long cold maturation and no pasteurisation.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
Original Ritterguts Gose
Their beers place in the Top 18% of the catalogue on average, across 6 ranked beers. Consistent rather than spiky — no single standout carrying the rest.
