Anderson Valley Blood Orange Gose

The blood orange hits immediately—like someone cracked fresh citrus into your glass before pouring. It's juicy and almost jammy on the palate, with the gose's signature salt and coriander playing second fiddle to that fruit character. The 4.2% ABV keeps it light enough that the sweetness doesn't feel heavy, but you're definitely drinking this for the orange, not for gose tradition.

Gose Leipzig Original

This is what a gose tastes like when you strip away the experimentation. You get that characteristic wheat softness, a subtle herbal whisper from coriander, and the salt hits your lips with restraint—more like a suggestion than a statement. At 4.6%, there's fractionally more body than the Anderson Valley, and it drinks lean and thirst-quenching, the way these beers were meant to before American craft brewers started adding everything.
