No Hands Now
Grimm Artisanal Ales

Pours a cloudy sunset orange, lively orange-white head quickly dissipates; small, champagne carbonation, no lacing. Nose is very sharp - lime juice, salt, brackish water, even pleasant umami notes - much in line with a michelada. Taste follows - tart, salty, and extremely inviting. Citrus and sour lead off, with the salt kicking in - perhaps a bit too much - mid palate. The salt lingers late, but a slow, warming chili heat comes through late to ward off the salinity a bit. Still, the salt is a little unbalanced for me. Mouthfeel is thin with only some cursory wisps of initial carb. Really like where they went with this, but found it a touch unbalanced on the salt end.

Very light, not strong in flavor, but has a hint of lime and salt. Would be good in a Michelada.

 

Tastes of chili and lime. Pours a rust color with an off white head. Tastes of chili, lime, and salt. Good lacing and head retention. I’d describe this beer as “interesting.”
