Sierra Nevada Otra Vez

I have been fascinated with sour beers over the last year and have tried a few over at Yia-Yia's and reviewed one here at IGB:

A gose is an unfiltered wheat, with 50-60% wheat, tending to a low IBU count and usually with some fruit flavorings. I would tag this style as a summer beer, it being so light and refreshing, but winter can't be all about dark and moody stouts and porters.

Otra Vez pours a super-light golden yellow and a towering white, four-finger head. The aroma of prickly pear and grapefruit comes through right away. There's sourness, but not too much. Despite its summerness, I'd drink some more of these this winter.
