Key Lime Tau (2π) was brewed in collaboration with Hawkshead Brewery (UK) as part of the Trans-Atlantic Rainbow Project, a series that challenges brewers to come together and brew a beer inspired by a color. In its third year, the 2015 project involved seven UK breweries, each paired with a different American brewery and randomly assigned a color.

Key Lime Tau (6.3% ABV), brewed to embody the color green, is a Mixed Culture Fermentation Ale aged in Oak with Lactose, Fresh Lime Peel and Fresh Lemongrass.

I need to try more of this I think, intense lime and graham cracker, but I'm not yet persuaded

330ml bottle from Ales by Mail. Pours orange with a small head. Aroma of tart and zesty lime, dish soapy notes, hints of lactic sourness and lemon. Taste is smooth, slightly lactic and tartish with loads of lime, lemon, hints of cheesecake and biscuity maltiness. Finish is biscuity, soapy and slightly lemony with loads of zesty lime. Quite interesting, a bit weird.
