Christmas ale on New Year's Eve

I'm still working on the many Advent beers I have left. This beer is Gose Bier, Gasthaus & Gosebrauerei, Bayerischer Bahnhof, Leipzig, Germany. Beer brewed with spice, specifically coriander and salt. 11.2oz bottle, 4.6% abv.

Appearance is light and clear with a white head that dissipated fairly quickly.

Aroma is mild. Very slight notes of hops and malt and little else.

Flavor is crisp with very mild sweetness and a hint of sourness. Quite pleasant. Well balanced and tasty. Body is also light. Very refreshing beer. Quite different from many of the big beers in the calendar.
