We have traversed the globe to Mexico where we celebrate Brett’s love of South American food and the citrus zing of the mighty lime.
Clean and crisp with refreshing tangy limes and a moreish briny finish, this is our perfect summer beer. It originally took inspiration from Sleeping Lemons and the beautiful preserved lemons we use, but the idea developed into a cleaner beer, taking the Corona and lime wedge and stepping it up a notch.
Brewing a beer around the taste of lime naturally led us to using this beautiful citrus fruit, utilising both the fresh pulp and the zest. A clean and crisp base was achieved by using a lager yeast with the lime building an addictive tang to the pallet and a gose inspired flurry of salt adding to the finish. What is it? A lager, a gose, a sour... Who cares. Put simply it is one of the finest accompaniments for the British summertime.

330ml can: BB 13th Aug 19. Poured into a La Chouffe stemmed tulip glass at home on 14th Dec 2018. Golden body, next to no head. Lime evident in both the aroma and taste, light salty flavour pushing the mouth to think 'sour' along with the saltiness. Almost liked it (I am not a sour puss sort of guy).

At a tasting, small stable bubbly head, quite clear deepish yellow color, aroma of lemon washing liquid, soap and a hint of lavender, flavor of lemon, soap and spice with a bit unpleasant bitterness, quite light bodied. Drinkable but quite disappointing.
