24 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 6/22/2018. Pours crystal clear pale golden yellow color with a small fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty lace cap that linger. Light spotty lacing on the, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lightly tart lime juice, citrus peel/zest, cracker, corn, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of limes, pale malt/grains, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart lime juice, citrus peel/zest, cracker, corn, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal, floral, grassy, zesty bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lightly tart lime juice, citrus peel/zest, cracker, corn, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of limes, pale malt/grains, and light earthy hop flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no yeasty notes present. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4%. Overall this is a nice fruited light lager. All around nice robustness and balance of limes, pale malt/grains, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and not too watery for the ABV. Great balance between vibrant limes and pils malt/grains; with solid earthy hop presence for the style. Not overdone on adjuncts. A nicely enjoyable offering, and great style example. Would be great for summer.

Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear pale gold with a half finger of white head. Aroma is light line and grains. Taste is similar, lime with tonic water. Meh, not too special.

The 24oz and 4% ABV silver can pours with a crystal clear gold body that supports a thin white head. The aroma offers up sugar thin lime Kool-Aid and 7-Up soda notes. The taste is sugar sweet lime “stuff” mixed with 7-Up soda and more sweetness. This is not redeeming in any way I can see.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright golden color with a huge foamy white head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was dryish and tart lime and artificial sugar. The flavor was dryish cereal, tart lime, lemon and artificial sugar. Medium finish of lime and artificial sugar. Light to medium body. Better than I expected.

Drank directly from a 12 oz clear screw top bottle. Smell is a little limey, of course. Look is simply clear lighter lager. Taste is a little lime with just a tad of soda pop attributes. Seems to go down rather easy. Not as rude as some lime beers but worse than others. Could use a little more sweetness int here to overcome the dull beeriness. Co2 is a little less than i’d like for this brew. Finish is mild light lager beer with a tad of citrus lime. No real ill characteristics on the finish.

24 oz can into lager glass. Bought at Super 1. Shouldn’t this be in the fruit beer category? Whatever. Pours a completely clear pale yellow with a fast-dissipating white head. Aroma is strong in lime and salt with cereal grain lurking in the background. Reminds me of Mexico. Taste is sweet with no bitterness. Tastes like corn and lime. Carbonation is a little on the light side for this style, body is thin. An easy summertime chugger without any depth. I have a feeling it’s going to turn real shitty towards the end of this big-ass can.
