Floyds Deluxe Lime
3 Floyds Brewing Co.

 

 

 

Poured from a 12oz can into a FFF DLD nonic pint glass. Pours a clear straw golden with two fingers of white foam head. Subtle lime citrus (I am happy to report) with underlying bready malts. Taste follows but the lime has a drying effect on the finish making it a little less drinkable than the original. It is still a pretty solid variant here but I am not sure it retains the drinkability of regular Deluxe. Medium-full mouthfeel. Really good stuff. Kind of interested to revisit in the summer heat. Perhaps poolside. Has to be ice cold though or the lime will just dry your mouth out.

12oz bottle lazer etched BOTTLED 03-25-26 poured into a tulip pint glass at fridge temp 4.5% ABV per label. The beer pours bright pale golden yellow with nearly white head. The head recedes to a thin ring and single layer of bubbles. Minimal lacing. The aroma is mild with lime at the forefront and a hint of pale malt. The taste is semisweet with lime and 2-row malt. Clean with minimal bitterness. The feel is thin bodied with average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Cleanly lagered. Overall, very good AAL.

 

I found a 12 pack of these today at the source on the first day they were available. These were canned two days ago and labeled "Floyds Deluxe Lime Lager". It pours a pale yellow with modest but lasting white head and some lacing. Smells like beer, but tastes like lime. Behind the lime, there is some grain, but I don't detect the corn that is in the aroma of the normal Floyd's Deluxe. (Yes, I just called another Three Floyd's beer "normal"). Body is light with just the right amount of carbonation. A nice easy drinker, and affordable. I hope they keep producing this one.
