Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Ohne Bedenken Edelgose if you want a sharper, more assertive gose;
Old Pro if you want something gentler and rounder.
Both sit at identical IBU and similar ABV, so the difference is texture and salt perception—the German one punches first, the Baltimore one coaxes. You're not choosing between vastly different beers; you're choosing between interpretations of the style.

Ohne Bedenken Edelgose
Ohne Bedenken hits you with salt upfront—not overwhelming, but immediately present on your lips. There's a mineral, almost briny quality that makes your mouth water, followed by a clean lemon acidity that cuts through without any sweetness. The 4.6% ABV gives it enough body to not feel thin, and the finish is dry and slightly puckering. It feels intentional, like someone knew exactly how sharp they wanted this gose to be.
Old Pro
Old Pro is the friendlier version. The salt is there, but it's more of a whisper than a shout—it softens the acidity rather than amplifying it. You get subtle citrus and a faint herbal undertone that makes it feel approachable even if you're not a gose veteran. The lower ABV (4.2%) gives it a lighter mouthfeel, almost silky, which lets the salt sit comfortably rather than demand attention. This one invites you in.
