A crisp, refreshingly golden ale bursting with juicy Persian lime, freshly ground coriander and a hint of cracked black pepper.

Notes from 4+ years ago.
12 0unce bottle into a pint glass.
Kind of a wheat ale with food flavors installed. Along with the big lime taste it has some Honduran mahogany wood in the background along with table spices, mainly black pepper. It has a fast drying finish. Very tasty.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a bright golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is mild, limes, little else. Taste is sour, limes, hints of spices. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a refreshing and decent beer, but not exactly "exotic".

I normally don’t like hoppy ales. The line cut the hoppy bite and this was very nice. One and done for me. Not a session drink. But I enjoyed it.

Please stop adding pepper to beers. It's not good and ruined what might have been a halfway decent beer.

12 oz bottle served in a pint glass. 29 April 2018 BB date stamp.
This is a golden ale with a substantial amount of lime in both the flavor and the aroma. The aroma has more input from grains than does the flavor but both are dominated by natural lime notes. Allowing for a substantial bit of lime, this refreshing ale is reasonably well balanced.
Good looking with a decent white head over a clear golden body.
Feel: near medium body and lively medium+ carbonation and a dry finish.

The lime is a tad strong and comes off as artificial.

12 FL. OZ. bottle
Served in an IPA glass

This beer pours pale yellow in color and is topped with an inch of off white head that leaves little lacing.

The smell is all lime and coriander.

It tastes just like it smells with lots of lime and plenty of coriander.

Light mouthfeel

It is refreshing and easy drinking.

Hazy gold with two fingers of white head that lasts about five minutes. Rings of lace.
Smell is lime.
Taste is lime coriander with a hint of black pepper.
Mouthfeel is light with proper carbonation. The finish is dry and lightly sweet.
Overall pretty good for the style. The lime is not too much like most others that use it .
Enjoy by 28 Jan. 2018.
