The Gose style originated in Germany in the early 16th century, becoming the most popular style in the region in 1900, only to disappear virtually after World War II bringing destruction to breweries and difficult economic times. Moved by the passion for experimentation, Anderson Valley has revived the style these days. Briney Melon Gose has a refreshing acidity that is perfectly balanced by subtle aromas and flavors of watermelon. Soft additions of sea salt create a refreshing harmony between acidity and fruity sweetness, leading to a clean, dry finish.
