The origins of this intriguing beer style stretch back to the early 16th century, yet it has only begun to gain popularity following its recent resurgence among American craft beer enthusiasts. Developed in the German town of Goslar, Gose is a top-fermented wheat beer punctuated by a refreshing citrusy tartness and a hint of salt. The salty component complements another key ingredient of the style – coriander. Also known as “cilantro,” this potent spice introduces the zesty lemon-like citrus flavor for which the beer is recognized. We could stop right there, but we decided to explore the style a bit further. Our chef has created a refreshing strawberry rhubarb syrup that adds a hint of sweetness to this tart summer treat. At just 4.0% ABV, you can sit outside all day enjoying this refreshing blast of mouth-puckering joy.
