12 oz can best by stamped 2/9/24 into a Becher glass.
L: Pours lightly straw bight light yellow with a fast leaving fizzy head that becomes zero, slow steady large carbo bubbles, no lacing.
S: Lime a light hint of pastry dough.
T: Sharp lime, tart juicy pulp, lime zest, it is tart enough to be called wincing. There are other citrus fruits mingling. Very little after taste.
F: Lightly crisp, assertively dry medium-light feel with a fast moving center and a wincing dry finish.
O: Dominated by lime and overall tartness. Flavors are good but feel is weak. It is good in its style.

Taste: refreshing tart lime notes, citrus, airy. Tart key lime nose. Golden hue, clear, with white head some lace. Medium/light body. Easy drinking on a hot day like a Key lime pie itself.

Served from the can in a Lagunitas mason jar.
You ever pick a beer flavored with a fruit (or other additive) you just don't care for? Why did you do it? Yup, it's for the tick. I may have a problem. Regardless, this stuff pours a mostly clear brass topped by a finger of relatively short-lived off-white foam. The nose comprises straight lime, mild tart lemon behind, and a bit of soaked wheat for good measure. The taste brings in more of the same, the lime coming in more tart now. Not gonna lie, even though I dislike lime, this ain't all that bad. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a rather dry finish. Overall, a pretty good little Berliner, one where the lime is able to shine proudly like a tasty fruit.

Key Lime Supreme pours a clean, golden color, with a very small head. Aroma has a mellow note of keylime. Flavor is very clean, light, key lime flavors, with a slight tartness. Just a little too light. Overall, very easy and very light beer, with nice tart key lime flavors.

Clear, straw colored body. Brief fizzy head. No lacing.
Aroma is faint lime and is replete with lactic acid.
Taste is slightly tart, and has a vague citrus flavor of lime. Lactic acid in the after taste.
Medium mouth feel. Very good carbonation. Toward the dry side.
