Product Details

Sour. Salty. Citrus and floral aromatics. Sounds odd, right? Well, history would say “no." The Gose style has its roots in Germany over 500 years ago, and Duck Duck Gose is our take on the nearly lost classic. Tapped on its firm, brilliantly white foam head with hopes of not being the “goose”, Duck Duck Gose is brewed with lactobacillus for a pleasant tart sensation, while additions of salt and coriander bring this recipe full-circle to complete the intriguing sensory perception that is Gose. Tap into your inner child and play a game of Duck Duck Gose with us.

Brad’s Notes:
“The Gose style goes back hundreds of years, and nearly went completely extinct. Leave it to modern craft brewers to resurrect the style and see it flourish - it seems that I see more and more Gose releases by the week. So, here we are with our own. Sour, salty, citrusy, and fruity, Duck Duck Gose is actually a rather complex beer. Kettle souring the wort imparts a delicious tart underpinning to the beer, while salt, coriander, and a modest bittering hop addition create layers of flavors that perfectly play along with the wheat-based grain bill. The relatively modest ABV makes this recipe a real thirst quencher, and you can have a few, run around the circle and take a seat again before the alcohol catches up with you.

Fun (odd?) fact - Did you know that Minnesotans call the game “Duck Duck Goose” “Duck Duck Grey Duck”? I don’t get it… bunch of weirdos up here.”

Made a nice strawberry sour

This was my 1st sour so I also had to purchase the heater required for the lactobacillus. I more or less made the beer according to the directions since it was my first time. The wort was allowed to ferment with the lactobacillus until the PH reached 3.4. This took maybe 1.5 days. (Word of advice. The initial sample wasn't as sour as the final product.)

Fermentation note: I didn't maintain this beer at the recommended 60°- 65° F. My downstairs bathroom (fermentation room) stays around 72°. Didn't see any issues with final product.

After 2 weeks in initial fermentation, I moved to secondary. For the secondary, I racked onto 5 pounds of strawberries for a bit of added flavor. After 3 weeks I kegged the beer and let it rest for 2 weeks under pressure. The final product has a nice color and head with a 4.61% ABV. It's a sour for sure. Nothing crazy though.

As for changes. I wouldn't really do anything different to the actual beer recipe. Everyone that's tasted it likes the beer. The only thing I'd do differently next time would be to add extra strawberries. Maybe go to 10 pounds instead of 5 or switch up the strawberries for raspberries.
