Sierra Nevada Otravez

Sierra Nevada Otravez is a beer from the United States, listed here under Massachusetts. The name matches Sierra Nevada's Otra Vez line, which has typically been a gose-style ale: a tart, lightly salted wheat beer brightened with prickly pear and grapefruit. The listing does not confirm the style, ABV or IBU, so check the label for those figures. If it follows that style, expect a low-bitterness, citrus-forward profile with a sour edge and a dry, refreshing finish, rather than a hop-driven or malty one. Beers like this suit foods that benefit from acidity and salt. Expect good results with fish tacos, ceviche, grilled shrimp, fresh goat cheese, and salads with citrus dressing. It also works against spicy dishes, where the tartness and light body cool the heat without competing with it. Serve it well chilled, around 38 to 45°F, so the acidity stays crisp. A pilsner glass, a tall Weizen glass or a standard pint glass all work, since the beer is not heavily aromatic and mainly benefits from a glass that keeps the carbonation lively. Pour gently, as wheat-based beers can foam.
