Citrus and sunshine make a fantastic combination. The only thing missing is Sparkling Lime Lager. Bright, bubbly, packed with lime flavor, and brewed for crushing. This refreshing lager was made for soaking up the sun.

Sparkling Lime Lager pours a bright, clean, clear yellow color, with a small, long lasting head. Aroma is a nice lime note. Flavor is a nice buttery grainy base, with good lime flavors on top. Good body and feel. Overall, lots of lime, very easy drinking (as its supposed to be),for what it is, its pretty good.

Poured into a tall clear pint glass. Clear golden/straw color in appearance, with a thin white head. Little retention but decent lacing.
Aroma is straight forward: a lot of lime, some sea salt, and cracker malt.
Tasting a little bit of hay and some typical lager notes. The lime isn't as pronounced in the taste, kinda tastes a little candied. Not really tasting the salt, but I do taste the cracker malt. Kinda tastes flat and unbalanced. Body is light.

Served in a nonic pint glass
This beer pours a brilliant straw yellow color. It is topped with a couple inches of creamy off white head that hangs around leaving some nice lacing.
The smell is big on key lime. It smells sweet.
It has a nice key lime lager flavor. It tastes like an un-skunked Corona with a lime, only better and sweeter.
Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel
This is refreshing beer. I could see crushing 100 of them on a hot summer day. Thank goodness I am old now and do not go out on hot summer days and do not feel the need to drink 100 beers.
