🌍 United States · Gose · One of 35 Goses in hopIQ

No Hands Now is a savoury gose modelled on the michelada, brewed with chipotle meco and ancho chiles, lime and sea salt. It is fermented with a mixed culture in an oak foeder and returns to the taproom as a recurring release. Smoky, layered chile notes dominate the aroma, with a hint of cedar wood and the brightness of freshly squeezed lime. The body is light, the acidity moderate, and the salt rounds out the palate. The chiles contribute depth and smoke rather than heat.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced smoky and layered chipotle notes, underpinned by deeper ancho chile character that suggests depth rather than aggression. Cedar wood and a whisper of oak foeder aging frame the mid-palate aromatics, while vibrant lime zest cuts through with crisp brightness. The overall profile is savory and complex, inviting further exploration.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with the lime and salt establishing immediate structural clarity on the palate. Mid-palate develops the distinctive chile character—smoky and warming without pungent heat—while moderate acidity from the mixed fermentation and sea salt creates a rounded, almost mineral-like mouthfeel. The body remains light and refreshing, allowing the interplay of smoke, citrus, and salt to dominate without heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively short, with the salt and acidity fading gracefully to leave a subtle smoky echo and a dry, savory impression. No harsh bitterness lingers; instead, a lingering suggestion of cedar wood and lime zest rounds out the experience.
