German beer around 1900

I have a bottle (empty now) of Gose that I bought in 2008. The beer was then brewed by W. Goedecke in Burgliebenau. The bottle is labelled Goedecke's Döllnitzer Ritterguts Gose. I've been in Leipzig since 2008 and what is served under the name Gose is in fact a variation of Berliner Weisse. Real Gose should have salt and Koriander to distinguish it from a Berliner Weisse. No version of Gose served in Leipzig contains those two ingredients.  A German friend of mine says the Gose served in Goslar is just as bad. It's truly a shame but I don't know of any brewery in Germany that makes a genuine Gose now.
