Quite hazy golden coloured body with a raw honey golden glow and a thinnish, very fast-dying pure white head, perhaps a centimetre tall at most. Aroma of limes, coriander seed, light grain, a dash of flowers and a good deal of citrusey hops and the bitterness associated. Light-bodied; Very fresh lime flavour with a sour quality that hits with a light pepper and brine note that provide an excellent balance and finish with a lot of hops and bitterness from the citrus-based notes and a solid, but very easy-drinking pale malt backbone. Aftertaste shows the sour and tart fruits, the light grain and a smooth malt, citrus and easy-drinking fresh coriander seed freshness with some smooth but noticeable complexity on the end. Overall, a very refreshing and enjoyable light beer that shows a ton of flavour, yet is very easy-to-drink with an approachable hop quality even for those who hate hops/bitterness. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon Row), Virginia on 08-July-2019 for US$1,87 sampled at home in Washington on 12-November-2019.

Pour is a hazy amber with a large white head. Aroma is a odd lime and pine combo. Not that it is bad just kind of odd. Flavor is lime heavy but also palate cleansing at the same time. This would be good with spicy food dishes. It is what it is, a beer with lime and it is kind of refreshing.

Bottle/Fest. A- Lime. A- Gold color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Lime. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, light finish. O- Really lime forward. Not sure what black limes are but unless you're looking for a whole lot of lime, you won't get much else.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a hazy dark amber color with a large foamy orange-white head that left very good lacing. The aroma was dry, chalky and perfumey. The flavor was tart and bitter with strong perfume and some chalk. Long finish. Medium body.

Not bad, especially considering how abrasive lime can be when liberally applied to a beer. Salute the Sun takes a more restrained route, however, offering up subtle lime zest notes behind grapefruit-passion fruit Citra goodness and a mild, crackery malt base. Finish offers up lime bitterness but not much else; definitely a front-loaded pint. Drinkable, but forgettable.

Bomber from CostCo in Woodland, CA. Pours gold with a slightly off-white head. Aroma is citrus with a lime note. Med body or so. Flavor is mild caramel with a nice dose of citrus and some lime. Fairly dry. More citrus bitter than hop bitter. Arguably a touch of lime tartness. Clean and refreshing.
