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.

St John's. Keg. Almost clear gold beer, small white head. Smooth palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth light malts, light creamy sweetness. Nice light lime, a little lime sherbet. Modest lime peel. Finishes with a mild savoury note. Nice one. Well joined up.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Opaque, straw colour. Barely a head. Nose has salted lime. Wheat. Whiff of smoke, somehow. Taste is semi dry, and lightly salty. Some sweetness on the lips. Fine carbonation. Short, slightly sweet finish.

Keg at Mother Kelly's Well Street - Hackney. Pours hazy gold with a small, creamy white head. Some wheat bread, subtle ripe lime, minimal tartness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more wheat bread, nips of dough, more ripening lime. Fine. Somewhat refreshing.
