Fennel Gose

Freigeist Bierkultur has set itself the task of rescuing old, long-forgotten beer styles from obscurity With the introduction of the Bavarian Purity Law, many traditional beer styles in Germany have disappeared The craft beer movement is not only bringing a breath of fresh air to the German beer landscape, but is also giving one or two classics a renaissance

One beer style that has a centuries-old tradition is Gose Originally from Goslar, it has spread throughout Germany via Leipzig and enjoys great popularity beyond Germany's borders For a long time, hardly any Gose was brewed, but today there are many breweries that are producing the sour beer again Freigeist Bierkultur is one of them and has developed a Gose with fennel seeds The spicy seeds go perfectly with the sour beer and give the drink that certain something

Freigeist's Fennel Gose flows into the glass in a cloudy amber hue and forms a frothy, white crown A delicious fruity aroma rises from the foam In the nose, rhubarb meets tangy lime, a nice acidity and an earthy herbal note are added The fennel is very subtle and gives the aroma a spicy note The taste of the Fennel Gose follows on from the aroma: Fruity rhubarb, slightly herbal, citrus-fresh, beautifully sour and a consistent fennel note The finish is crisply sour, slightly salty and beautifully herbal

An extremely successful Gose!
