🌍 United States · Gose · One of 40 Goses in hopIQ

This gose is brewed with lime and blue agave nectar on a base of two-row pale and wheat malt, lightly bittered with Magnum; the current recipe replaced the original prickly pear and grapefruit version in 2018. It pours a hazy straw colour with lively carbonation. Fresh lime juice and peel lead over a lemony, lactic tartness and a touch of salt, agave adds a faint honeyed sweetness that softens the sour edge, and toasted wheat bread appears as the beer dries out.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Otra Vez

◎ Appearance

Otra Vez presents a hazy straw yellow, characteristic of its wheat malt base and intentional cloudiness from suspended yeast and proteins. The head builds with lively carbonation, forming a fine foam that clings delicately to the glass. The overall impression is one of bright, approachable clarity despite the haze.

◌ Aroma

Fresh lime juice and citrus peel dominate the nose, anchored by a subtle lemony tartness that speaks to the gose's lactic character. Beneath these bright top notes sits a soft, honeyed sweetness from the blue agave nectar, which rounds the overall aromatic profile. A delicate toasted wheat grain undertone adds gentle texture without overwhelming the citrus-forward presentation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced fresh lime and gentle lactic sourness, immediately balanced by a restrained mineral saltiness that defines the gose style. Blue agave nectar contributes a faint honeyed sweetness that softens the sour edge and prevents sharpness. As the beer develops, toasted wheat bread notes emerge, adding structure and drying the finish without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the wheat malt drying influence persisting gently on the palate. Residual citrus notes fade to a whisper, leaving behind a subtle mineral and salt impression that invites another sip.
