Gose

A beer for margarita people. Gose is a tart German wheat beer brewed with a little salt and coriander seed, so it tastes bright, lemony and faintly savory, with no hop flavor at all. The salt should read like a pinch of sea salt on the rim, never like brine. It began in the Middle Ages in Goslar, on the Gose River, and later became Leipzig's beer, where Bayerischer Bahnhof still brews a classic Leipziger Gose. American brewers have embraced it, often with fruit added; Anderson Valley and Westbrook both make well-regarded versions, and the canned ones are some of the most refreshing beers to bring to a barbecue.
