16 oz can. Aroma is lime, cinnamon, vanilla. Pours hazy golden with an immediately collapsing off-white head. Taste is highly sour (8/10), salty and a little sweet with flavors of key lime pie. Like the Baked beer I had before this, I wish there was more of a pastry character.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-clear orange color with a quickly dissipating foamy head, no lace
Aroma: key lime sweet and tart qualities, vanilla, cream and some graham cracker
Flavor: copies the prior mentioned aromas nicely and adds in a subtle sour tone; quick aftertaste of key lime and graham cracker
Texture: about medium bodied, perhaps just a touch under; mostly a sipper; clean crisp and tart finish
Overall: pretty nice pastry sour ale as a key lime pie sour. I wouldn't mind having again on a Summer night.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Another Top 50 brew; my 690th. Slightly hazed orange gold pour. Brief beige head. Aroma smells like graham cracker and Key limes. Sitting on my patio watching a hummingbird sip nectar from a Deep Purple Salvia. Flavor is a wonderful mix of brown sugar, tart Key limes and vanilla. Smooth and approachable with a surprisingly soft mouthfeel. This is nice.

Bright lime. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Bright and brilliantly to the dessert.

Taster shared with Brian. Appearance: a bit hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: key lime, lol - lime, vanilla and othe baking spices. Taste: sweet and sour with lime and some salty notes. Overall: good one, one more perfect realization of the description from GNB.

Draught @ MBCC 2018, Green Session
Pours hazy deep golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, lime, vanilla and lemonade. Taste is medium sweet and light sour with a long slightly dry, funk, lime and tart finish. Body is light to medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.
