Mas Lima
Oskar Blues Grill & Brew

From the small can, it pours a clear light yellow color with a modest, soon diminishing, white head. The nose gets lime. The mouth gets a slightly limey lightly salty brew. Interesting, best drunk in the summer on a hot day, unlike the below 20 degree day I am currently experiencing.

 

Oscar Blues variety pack:
LOOK: Pours a very light pale straw yellow with an all-white head that immediately disappears, while leaving some minimal side glass lace.
AROMA: Light lime and salt water, corn husk.
TASTE: More of the same, with salt the most definitive.
Extra drying, making you motivated to take your next sip.
This was actually pretty a nice brew.

L: Pours a pale straw yellow with a medium fizzy head and nice lacing around the glass.

S: Very limey followed by notes of salt and notes of corn and tortilla chips

T: Lots of lime and salt with some corn and toasted malt.

F: Light crisp and easy drinking

O: A bit too limey for me but still nice

Appearance: Slightly hazy pale yellow, big head.

Smell: Mostly limes.

Taste: Refreshing and easy to drink. “Beery” with obvious lime but not overly sour. Gives a bit of grassiness in the finish. Light bodied.

Overall: I never used to go for any fruit in beer, but I must be getting softer in my old age. This just hits the spot, you still can tell it's beer (and a pretty good one) while getting a hit of lime flavor. Nice easy drinking beer.

 

 

This one is the last flavor of a mixed pack that has been in the fridge long after the others have disappeared. I'm not sure if I've been avoiding it or not. Packaging is an aluminum can. The beer is a hazy straw yellow color with a sort of wispy white head. The aroma has a little grain and grass, and a distinct lime scent. For the taste, on the tip of the tongue, I get a shock of salt. It isn't overpowering, but once tasted it is always there. The lime and a little grain and hop bitterness come forth in the taste as well. Clean finish. Overall it is quite light in body. Interesting. Maybe I shouldn't have avoided it.

Part of a mixed fifteen pack I picked up in Thurmont last weekend. Light in body and very easy to drink but a bit simplistic. The lime is crisp and refreshing but not a ton of flavor. Fine in the right spot, like after mowing the lawn, or by the pool in July.

 

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours yellow orange with a fluffy white head. Smells of salty lime. Tastes of sweet lime with salt, very refreshing. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Poured into a wide mouth grip shaped goblet - color is straw, not clear but not thick looking, head is off white with fine bubbles and presents 1/4 inch thick, head dissipates to nothing but a ring along glass sides.

Smell is light lime, hint of grain, saltiness.

Taste is lime forward, some light grain and biscuit, salt, sourness.

Mouthfeel is lower carbonation, moderate sweetness, light sourness, no real bitterness.

Overall - better than anticipated lime is subtle but notable, saltiness is similar, very drinkable.

L- pours slightly hazy straw with medium white head into a pint glass
S- light malt and lime aroma
T- balanced lime and malt flavor. Subtle hop bitterness.
F- light body, moderate carbonation, and dry finish
O- clean and easy drinking lime beer. Not incredible, but pretty good.

 

 

I got a can of this beer off the single shelf from the Woodman's in Onalaska, Wisconsin. It poured a slightly hazy pale yellow with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had lime notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp malt base with like and salt presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

This beer pours a very clear champaign color with a small white head. The aroma is a bit vague, but I can detect lime. The lime taste is very genuine; slightly sweet, citrusy and appropriately bitter. But again, the taste is somewhat vague. Overall, this is a refreshing session lager.
