Our Raspberry Lime Rickey Sour is pure bliss in liquid form, a sour so deeply satisfying you’ll be tempted to top it off with a tiny umbrella. (We’re not stopping you.) Imagine the fizzy, tart and sweet characteristics that made the cocktail the mainstay it is today but artfully expressed in beer form, featuring a bright red hue that’ll turn heads and a clean, citrusy flavor that’ll keep you coming back for more.
With its sessionable ABV and whimsical balance of zesty raspberry and lime flavors, this is one beer you’ll be reaching for whatever the occasion. Lime garnish optional.

16 oz can.
Pours a cloudy fruit punch color with no head or lacing.
Mild aromas of raspberry. Maybe a hint of lime.
The flavor is tart raspberry, bready malt, and the absolute foggiest idea of a foggy idea of lime. Drinks like a flat seltzer.
The feel is light bodied with moderately high carbonation. Very dry.
Overall, this is an unimpressive sour ale. Is this really a "Wild Ale"? Should probably be a kettle sour. Regardless, it's a pretty poor take on either style. This is basically a seltzer, and a weak one at that.

I always like seeing this series around, as I don’t see much Smuttynose in my area as it is
Pours a hazy ruby red with a finger of pink tinted head that quicky fades to a ring of bubbles and leaves no lacing
The nose is primarily tart raspberry, with milder notes of coriander, vanilla, and lemon. Not much going on and does not smell all that great
The taste is at least better. On the front end, both the raspberry and lime come through with some creaminess from the wheat. The swallow is pretty much the same but it dials the citrus character up
Medium body with mild carbonation, this drinks easy and coats the mouth. Finishes too sticky for my tastes
This one was pretty mehh compared to their others in the series. Not bad, but I wouldn’t get it again
