    Hiya folks,

    A recent installment of the 2013 Short's specialty beer release program has begun to grace stores and tap handles state-wide. This is the first year Cerverza de Julie has been bottled, and is sure to satisfy those remaining hot days of summer.

    Cheers!

    Cerveza de Julie: A pale yellow Mexican lager brewed with real lime. Delicate yeasty esters gather quickly from the ample amount of carbonation breaking out of this lighter bodied beer style, complimented by light fruity aromas. Soft grain sweetness enhanced by unobtrusive lime qualities shift toward a snappy citrus tartness, which turns mildly bitter before a crisp clean refreshing finish.
    5% ABV
    27 IBU


    Cheers!

    The first year we brewed this I thought it was a little too lime forward, but this year we used key limes and I feel it's way more balanced and quite refreshing.

    I wasn't sure how good mmkay would be after trying Great Lakes- Anniversary IPL (very disappointed), but Mmkay was Nothing "shorts" of amazing. Hopstache and Mmkay have been 2 of my favorite beers this year for sure.

    Sounds like Holiday was the place to be today. I picked mine up there also. Great price. I can't wait to try it.

    I picked a sixer today too. Hopstache, Beard of Zeus, MMMKay, and Wowee Zowee have been my favorites this year.

    Well I just cracked my first bottle. I wish I would have gotten another sixer. This beer has that " I could drink 30 of these on a nice day" thing going on. Another solid Shorts offering.

    Cheaper than Corona and twice as good. Real limes in this folks, almost taste that rind bitterness at the end of every gulp. They don't make big enough boxes.
