Otra Vez is a light golden colour with a strong aroma and a very cloudy appearance. The first taste came off what I thought was very citrus y. Turns out that is the cactus and Grapefruit I did not identify the coriander either. After several tastes the grapefruit seems to become more identifiable. I like IPA's a lot. This one not so much so. It could be a good one for cutting through an extreme thirst. As I always advise judge for yourself if however we are out drinking together I think I will try something else. Such as Sierra Nevada Torpedo now there is a good taste sensation.Since Otra Vez translates from Spanish to "again" I will say No otra vez.
Now the official word:
Cactus adds a twist to the traditional gose style.
On our search for the perfect warm weather beer, we wanted something light bodied and thirst quenching, yet filled with complex and interesting flavors. We stumbled across the fruit of the prickly pear cactus, native to California. This tangy fruit is a great complement to the tart and refreshing traditional gose style beer. Otra Vez combines prickly pear cactus with a hint of grapefruit for a refreshing beer that will have you calling for round after round. Otra Vez!
