Limeleaf
SanTan Brewing Co.

The look and smell were to be expected with a summer release in the Arizona desert. I did not get this beer looking to do some heavy lifting. I was hoping for a nice refreshing lime flavor, and that I did not receive. A very limited lime flavor that quickly gave way to a bitter beer experience. Perhaps this would have worked better with an American wheat type rather than a cream ale.

Pool, 105 outside, sunny is out it is tasty and refreshing, when it is cold it is enjoyable and refreshing, nice when hanging out in the edge of the pool. Unfortunately when it begins to warm up in the heat it has a watery feel and the lime tastes weak like the lime in the plastic container. Enjoy cold and quick

 

Look: One finger white head, clear yellow body.

Smell: See below.

Taste: Grains, corn, mild limes, mild herbalness.

Feel: Medium-light body, medium carbonation. Dry finish, very clean.

 

Pours a clear yellow golden color with white head. Limes, but that fake sweet lime-like flavor; same goes for the palate. Just awful, this was not good. It tasted like artificial citrus flavoring, just did not work in this beer.

Smooth citrusy flavor, very refreshing on a 118° day in bullhead city, az while at the pool

Definitely a thirst quenching brew. I agree with the other reviewers that it's a bit underwhelming in the lime department, but I think I figured it out: it has Kaffir lime LEAVES added. Not lime juice. I think people are expecting a blast of citrus flavor and aren't getting it. IMO, the lime leaf definitely comes through, but it is very gentle and light (as a leaf should be). Super clean and smooth. Refreshing. Light aromatics of lime in the flavor. If you're looking for a lime juice bomb then this is not for you.

Pours like a cream ale, mostly clear in body and a lighter golden in color. Little to no head forms with little to no lacing. The scent is somewhat limey, but mostly faint and heavy with cereal grains. On the tongue, this one has little to no flavor. I was expecting a light ale with a hint of lime, but this one has just a light hint of cereal grains and that's about it. There is the very slightest hint of light limes at the end of the taste, but it is virtually nothing. In the mouth, this one is just very high in carbonation and light in body. It is thirst quenching, but not in the flavor, just the weight and feel.


Overall, this is not a good beer. Little to no lime flavor and a body that is way too light, this is just a bland mess. Not much more to say about this one.

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from a 12oz can into a pint glass. Canned on 4/6/16.

L- golden in color, crystal clear with a fluffy white head that settles into a thin lacing. a nice looking cream ale.

S- notes of malted barley, milled grain, faint herbal lime aroma, hint of biscuit. kinda boring; was expecting more lime leaf or something else (hops?) to stand out.

T- more barley & grain flavor complimented by floral/herbal lime. light herbal, grassy hop bitterness. a tad sweeter than I was expecting. finishes with a hint of tartness. quite refreshing, not too much lime luckily.

F- crisp mouthfeel.

O- it's a pretty good summer ale. it'll go down nicely in the searing AZ summer heat (but then again, pretty much every beer does!)......worth trying but I would rather have a Mr. Pineapple. it has more character (pronounced pineapple and hefeweizen yeast flavors) than this one. this one is a bit boring in comparison

Very mild, good creaminess with right amount of lime. Found it very refreshing on a hot day.
