Beer and Wine Exam 2 Practice

Berliner Weisse and Gose are tart, pale wheat beers where the defining feature is sourness from lactic fermentation. Berliner Weisse is light-bodied and very tart, emphasizing a clean, lemony acidity. Gose shares the sour base but adds saltiness from minerals or salt and a coriander aroma, giving a distinct herbal-saline character. This combination—lactic sourness plus Berliner Weisse’s lightness and Gose’s salt and coriander—best fits the description. The other options describe flavors that don’t match these styles: dark, roasted flavors belong to stout/porter; malt-forward sweetness with low acidity isn’t sour; hoppy, resinous bitterness describes hoppy Pale Ales or IPAs.
