We traveled by train to Leipzig, known for many things such as being the hometown of Bach. It was intriguing walking through a city with such historical architecture mixed with modern. Not only is the city known for that, but also know for the peculiar beer, Gose. Gose is a sour, salty wheat beer that is fermented with yeast and lactic acid bacteria. I tried a sample of Gose at Bayerischer Bahnhof and expected something that would remind me of a saltlick, but I was pleasantly surprised to find something much more subdued. Yet, the next drink I ordered was Gose with sweet woodruff syrup, which pleasantly, but not overwhelmingly complimented the Gose. I’m happy I tried this Gose and not the one served at the City Hall pub, which I heard was extremely salty.
