Can't help but mutter Dammit when I see a lime wedge served with my beer. Pretty basic light beer; I guess it's brewed with corn to earn the Mexi part, but otherwise what you'd expect: slight grainy sweetness, a little bread, a little citrus, a lot of carbonation. Would be forgettable were it not for the lime wedge bullshit.

Better-than-average IPA, even if it comes off a little dated in this age of tropical fruit salad non-bitter hop bombs. Surprising amount of caramel forms the base, and a nice grapefruit-and-pine hoppiness leads to a resinous, slightly bitter finish. Very drinkable old-school IPA.

Spiced to all hell and back. Possibly a good wheat ale lies underneath the relentless adjunts, but, man, I'm not digging this in the slightest. Massive amounts of ginger, cinnamon, and spearmint overpower any other aspect of the pint. Not for me.

Pours an unexpected amber-orange with an unending white head. Loads of grass, lemon, and clove on the nose. Tastes of wheat, vanilla, white bread, dried apricots, followed by undertones of lemon zest and white pepper. Finishes yeasty with a modest bitterness. Very drinkable on a warm spring evening.

Smooth as hell, loads of chocolate, caramel, coffee, and dark fruit, with a medium-roast finish and a subtle java acidity. Texture is creamy, silky, oily...perfect. Tasty.

Comes off a tad clunky, with a wort-ish funkiness underlining the caramel malts, while the hops offer more pine than grapefruit with a clingy, slightly musty bitter finish. Full body has a warming, spicy fade. Not bad.

Another great Chattanooga Black IPA, with a juicy, bright orange marmalade hoppiness backed by grapefruit and pine, finished off by mocha notes laced with caramel and roast. Smooth texture and medium-full body make for easy drinking. Solid pint.

Very average, very basic American light beer. The higher ABV (for the style) is nice, as are the mild bready malts and subtle but apparent floral Saaz bitterness. Nothing memorable, but if you're going to be crushing light beer, might as well be crushing craft light beer.
