The Gose is a small river in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is a left tributary of the Abzucht. The river is 7,1 kilometers long with a drainage basin of 10 km².^[1] Its source lies north of Auerhahn in the Harz Mountains, on the eastern slopes of Bocksberg. The river runs towards the northeast through a steep and narrow valley, and meets the Abzucht on the western edge of Goslar, which is named after the river. Its waters were once used in the brewing of the traditional Gose beer.
