Macro light beers with subpar flavors have owned the light beer space for too long, help us raise the bar and compete against big beer on their own turf! At 4.3% ABV and 120 calories per serving, Lime Lite features natural lime in its recipe. Like Nite Lite, Lime Lite is unfiltered, unpasteurized, and preservative-free. It sips super refreshing and crisp, with a hint of lime citrus.

Look...a minor haze yellowish gold with a minimum head.
Smell...Traditional lager smell of citrus hops and some dankness. No hint of lime
Taste...a refreshing splash of the lager sweet with the bitter hint of lime in the middle finish. A very accessible plunge down the hatch with a lite touch
Feel....Incredibly light carbonation that dissipates very rapidly
Overall...This is up there for me in terms of light beers. damned easy to drink and tasty. Definitely recommend for some light beer options .very good

On tap at Northern Barrell in Voorheesville, NY.

This one pours a clear golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like crisp and clean biscuity malt, a slight lime sweetness, and some lemon.

This definitely sits somewhere in between a nice option for people just getting into craft beer, and an option for people who actually like craft beer. It straddles that line nicely, and is well brewed, with a seemingly authentic subtle lime taste, with a nice crisp and clean lager underneath.

This is light bodied, clean, and super drinkable.

I really liked this one, which was somewhat surprising to me.

Canned 03/24/22.

Moderate pour yields a 1/2 inch white head over a fairly bright body with a touch just a touch of haze and a bit of lacing.

Nose of cracker, biscuit, and slight citrus.

Taste is lime forward in flavor but only slightly tart.

Fairly nice feel with medium carbonation.

Overall, one could crush a 4-pack of these with no problem.

Cheers!

One of the best beers I had in to pool to date. It’s a great lite lager on a hot sunny day.

Had on tap. Pours clear, pale gold in color with 1/4 inch heas. Taste is big lime and cereal grain. Light body, high carbonation, and sweet. Nothing fancy but a nice lime forward tasty session beer. I would get this again. Nice beach beer.

Canned 6/11/19, would've preferred fresher but for $1.50 I thought what the hell?

Pours straight up fizzy yellow, a finger of soapy white head that fades fast, constant streaming carbonation

Mostly an adjuncty nose, corn and lime lead. A bit of malt and some salinity

Light in flavor without feeling bland, mostly just your average lager yeast with lime darting across the palate throughout the sip

More creamy in feel than I would've expected, but that's what makes this stuff great. Light bodied, moderate carbonation in conjunction with the light citrus makes this finish mostly clean and a bit sticky

Even for an 8+ month old can, this was pretty great. I certainly know where I'll be turning to for beer that'll please all of my friends

**Mystery Beer Review**

I rolled the can before I opened it just in case.
Pours a soft yellow with peach undertones, fizzy white head. Clear body.
Nose of dough, lemon cake, lime.
Taste follows. Lemon/lime, soft, lightly floral, slightly sweet finish.

Effervescent body, clean and crisp. First thought was a lager but the lemon lime/7up taste is throwing me. Gose? No salinity. Golden ale with citrus zest? Possibly but a nice clean finish leads me to say no. Going with a lager here, very light in alcohol. Honestly, I would not be surprised if this was one of those NA craft beers.

This would be killer in the summer.
