What is gose?
Gose is an old German beer that has recently been revived among many craft brewers. First brewed in the 16th century in the town of Goslar, Germany, it's a top-fermented beer that is made with 50 to 60 percent malted wheat. It does not have a strong hoppy flavor; instead it tastes bright and crisp, with notes of citrus and herbs like lemon, lime, coriander seeds and salt.
