Whether you're spending a lazy afternoon in the sun or just want a light, tangy option in your homebrew lineup, this all-grain gose is your ticket to refreshment.

This gose-style beer kit delivers a mouthwatering blend of flavor: the zest of three oranges (provided by you) meets a soft lactic tang from sauer malt and crushed coriander, all balanced with a light hand of sea salt for that signature gose twist.

Built on a crisp, light body of Pilsner malt, wheat malt, and flaked wheat, this session-strength gose (3.8% - 4.1% ABV) finishes clean and dry, making it ideal for repeat pours. A touch of Hallertau hops adds herbal nuance without bitterness (just 16 IBUs), while Lallemand NovaLager yeast ensures a reliable, clean fermentation.
