Gose is a warm fermented beer that is usually brewed with at least 50% of the grain bill being malted wheat, fruit syrups- such as lemon, coriander- and salt - either added or a component of the water used. It acquires its characteristic sourness through inoculation with Lactobacillus bacteria, which is not a hop-tolerant bacteria and which provides only a light acidity. Unlike some beers, such as India pale ales, gose beers typically do not have prominent hop bitterness, flavours, or aroma and have a relatively low alcohol content of 4 to 5% alcohol by volume.
