i've tried a few Gose beer:

M&Gose
Boom gose the dynamite
1 in Brooklyn
my first and only attempt at homebrewing a gose

Boom was by far the worst. tasted off. the rest were really nice.

Belgian wrote:^ No, Beau's was very much like a regular belgian or dutch Wit with salt thrown into it. It has no relationship to the Gose style that I can connect as a SOUR wheat ale.

yep. salty bogwater. blech.

other gose i've had are tart or sour, depending on their use of lactobacillus or not. the problem with lacto is that it can make a beer sour but thins it out and lowers the ABV. that's one of the reasons i don't tend to love berlinerweisens

Where is this beer? Not even showing on the LCBO site. Thought this was coming out last month?

It's still in the fridge at the Leaside Brewery but only about 20 or so bottles left. They sent a bunch to the new brewpub on Queen's Quay so it will be available there come mid june-ish. Beyond that you'll probably have to call around to the bigger LCBOs to figure out where it is, if it actually made it to the LCBO.

Just trying this from the bottles newly on shelf at LCBO. Excellent! Much better than other efforts from Ontario brewers. It has all the right notes: wheat, a little lactic, a little Brett, a little lemon/spice.

My only cavil is, too much salt. I'd cut it back although the overall taste of the beer is delicious.
