Pronounced goze-uh, this traditionally German style is going through a resurgence in the American craft beer scene. Case in point: Sixpoint Brewery of Brooklyn, New York released Jammer, a sessionable gose as its new spring/summer seasonal earlier this year.
If you're unfamiliar with the style, or aren't enticed by the idea of a "salty beer," check out this article written by Eric Asimov in the New York Times:
A handful of IPAs on this list, including Oskar Blues' Pinner and Hop Hunter from Sierra Nevada. Americans love those hoppy beers! A great list (so far).

About a month ago we got an e-mail from Jason Spaulding, President of Brewery Vivant of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Breweries participating in beer festivals outside their normal distribution territories must choose a distribution company local to where the festival is taking place. It’s all part of the Federally mandated three-tier system. In this case, Brewery Vivant, which currently only distributes throughout Michigan, Indiana, and the Chicago-area, needed a distribution company to take its beer into Massachusetts for the Extreme Beer Festival. They chose the Craft Brewers Guild.
America has become a nation of hop heads.
Beer drinkers can't get enough of the resinous aroma and array of piney, citrusy, and bitter hop flavors. Breweries are churning out several varieties of Pale Ales, sessionalbe IPAs, and higher ABV DIPAs to meet demand and everyone knows the fresher it is, the better it is. But let's face it, sometimes that "bottled on" date from 8 days ago juuuust doesn't cut it.
