Original Ritterguts Gose

**Aroma:** “Light lemongrass note with low peppery esters. Medium white-grape note with a mild sweetness and slight apple and _Brett_ notes. Big lemon and earthy funk. Wet hay.” **Flavor:** “Fruity grape notes with a light lemon note and a high carbonic bite toward the end of the sip. Light body. Farmhouse characteristics with an apricot tartness. There’s a bit of sweetness up front that plays well with the citrus and quickly transforms into moderate acidity and low bitterness. Very dry finish and moderate-high carbonation.” **Overall:** “The subtle herbal and earthy notes provide balance and give this beer a refreshing and inviting flavor and aroma while complementing the blend of citrus and funk notes. Tart dry finish with moderate-high carbonation makes this very refreshing, and the mild acidity/tartness balances the expectation of sweetness.”

“A lightly funky aroma with notes of pepper, salt, smoke, leather, and wet hay. A bright citric acidity and a pleasant salinity up front transcend into a soft lactic undertone with a refreshing blend of citrus and lactic notes.”

**Aroma:** “Moderate hops aroma that’s a little lush and perfumy, with quiet notes of fruits and flowers—like an early spring morning. Initially, some light yeast esters of pear and apple, complemented by the bread-crust malt.” **Flavor:** “The bready, biscuit maltiness up front is more prominent than in some Pilsners and combines well with the lemony hops bitterness. Fruity, floral, earthy notes, and a moderate alcohol warmth to add a slightly spicy taste. Well-balanced and inviting.” **Overall:** “The alcohol is a bit overdone, but the general balance is nice otherwise. The bitterness lasts for a while, without giving a harsh edge. Perfect after a hard day working or playing in the heat.”
