Can. A- Key lime pie, cool whip. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Key lime pie, cool whip, graham crackers, lime, slightly tart, sweet. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, refreshing finish. O- Sure as heck smells and tastes just like key lime pie. Lime pie, whipped topping, graham cracker crust and all. Sure as heck also would’ve never guessed it’s 7.5% abv. Drinks like 3%. A tad bit novelty like in my opinion and too sweet to drink more than a can but really good. I bet it would actually taste good in cooking a dessert. Easily one of the best things Tallgrass has done recently. If this was from Funky Buddha or something I’m sure the ratings would be a lot higher overall.

Can: Lightly hazed yellow gold with a sudsy off-white head. Aroma is spot on key lime pie, right down to the crust. Flavour is nicely sweet/tart lime, Graham cracker, grain malt.....even a creamy feel to the body. Hands down the most accurate recreation of key lime pie I’ve had to date.....really good.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a clear gold with a quick dissipating head. Nose is all key lime pie, with some rock candy and graham cracker as it warms. Light body, crisp and tart. Creamy cheese cake quality. Lingering tart finish with some lacto. A fun summer beer, but a little too sweet on the palate.

12 ounce can into pint glass, best before 9/14/2017. Pours fairly clear medium golden/yellow color with a 1-2 finger foamy white head with solid retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty lace cap that lingers. Minimal lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of tart lemon, lime peel, green apple, graham cracker, vanilla, marshmallow, and light herbal/yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of lime peel, lactose, acidic yeast, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big tart lemon, lime peel, green apple, graham cracker, vanilla, marshmallow, and light herbal/yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness and slight bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart lemon, lime peel, green apple, graham cracker, vanilla, marshmallow, and light herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of lime peel, lactose, acidic yeast, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tartness balance, and zero puckering flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from tartness/acidity, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, crisp, moderately acidic, and fairly creamy/grainy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a great fruited sour blonde ale. All around great robustness and balance of lime peel, lactose, acidic yeast, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the balanced tart/acidic finish. Not much complexity going on, but this nails exactly what it is going for in the name. Nice Lacto presence, but it never overwhelms the lime peel/lactose flavors. A really enjoyable offering.

Nonic pint draft at the Whole Foods Market in Olathe, Kansas. The pour is a slight haze golden with an off white head that has thick coating lace. The aroma is soft floral, citrus and a bit of resin hop. The taste is cracker malt, resin, floral and a clean finish with some grassy bitterness. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and the floral bitter resin finish. Tasty.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 8/26/2017. Pours slightly hazy golden orange/amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of huge grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, apricot, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, honey, light caramel, biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/pine hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, apricot, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, honey, light caramel, biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/grassy/citrus peel bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, apricot, mango, lemon/orange peel, pine, honey, biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from lingering bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Mild warmth of alcohol for 9.5%. Overall this is an awesome DIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the balanced bitter/drying finish. Very bright, juicy, and pretty dank on hops; nice malt backbone that is never overly sweet or heavy feeling. A really delicious offering.
