473mL can, pours an opaque dark orange with a large white head. Aroma is full of lime upfront, followed by big lacto notes. Flavour is full of bright lime, lacto, and some lactose-like sweetness. Nice fresh lime character, with just enough sweetness and not too much yogurty lacto nonsense. Pretty good for a simple adjunct kettle sour.

Hazy, amber, and it foamed up quite a bit on the pour. The aroma smells like a key lime sour, I mean clean and decently made but pretty straightforward. Tart, clean, has the lime. Yup, not to sour, well-balanced. A simple beer, decently-made.

473mL can. Pours a dull murky gold with a white head. Plenty of key limes in the nose. Flavour has a pretty decent lime character without much lacto, very gentle acidity, and some softness on the palate. Pretty decent for a kettle sour.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear gold with small white head. Very bland, touch of sweet corn malt, but just very very bland.
