Bless This Mess: Volume 3
2nd Shift Brewing

Somewhat murky orange color with a very modest white head that dissipates quickly.
The aroma is biscuits, lime and vanilla.
The taste is tart lime with a hint of coriander, mellowed a bit by the biscuity malt and vanilla. It's supposed to mimic key lime pie and it accomplishes this fairly well except for the coriander, definitely tart. The body is medium, good carbonation level, crisp but very drinkable.
Altogether, this is a tasty and pleasant concoction, while it may miss the key lime pie target a bit, I don't really care, it is still a very enjoyable and refreshing brew, very nice.

poured from a 16oz can into a smaller snifter. pours a burnt orange with minimal head. solid key lime pie notes on the nose and taste. pretty easy drinking with a light lime tartness to it. medium-full mouthfeel leaning towards the thinner side. nice key lime flavors but the golden ale base is kind of an odd choice. still, not bad.

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, white head of bubbly foam. It left some lacing. It smelled of lime, vanilla, cream and caramel. Nice tart lime taste with some vanilla and a mild bitterness.

Poured from a can. Golden in color and hazy with a large foamy head and lacing. Smells of biscuit, and lime. Flavor is somewhat sour with lime being in the forefront. Not really feeling key lime pie here but overall it's not bad. Crisp and refreshing.

 

 

Murky orange with almost no head save bubble islands. Smell is the star here: key lime with a kiss of acidity, biscuit, vanilla, flowers and a hint of ginger. Taste is unnecessarily harsh with the key lime juice, coriander doesn't add to the beer, just distracts. Biscuit tries to rein it in but just too late, vanilla comes across as sugary. Feel is tart, bright, chewy and very wet. Needs that blessing

 

Copper colored with a murky complexion. There’s a fingernail of off white around nearly all of the rim. Vibrant carbonation bubbles are otherwise bursting to the top in the middle of the beer. The aroma is of lime. I’m tasting lime and it has a ginger like crisp, refreshing, and vibrant mouthfeel.
