Brewed with a hefty amount of oats and wheat and just a hint of honey malt, a touch of cinnamon and some milk sugar with Cascade in the kettle, conditioned with Key Lime juice and Madagascar Vanilla before getting dry hopped with Wakatu and Cascade bringing this pie in a glass to life. Bursting with notes of fresh zested lime, citrus and pillowy marshmallow. Spring is right around the corner!

A thanks to the baron of bitterness, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 16 oz. can. Despite zero agitation, this beer came out quickly, resulting in a golden color with a 3 inch head. Smell is of limes, little else. Taste is limes, hints of vanilla, both slightly sweet and bitter. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall it's not bad, and certainly unique.

Kind of ugly looking hazy gold with no head to speak of. Taste is amazingly like key lime pie! Creamy with just the right amount of tartness. Very good and crushable.

Can. Poured a hazier orange. Aroma is definitely key lime. Flavor is too! Getting some prominent cinnamon and a bit of vanilla bean. Body is fuller than expected. I found this one to be a decent time but I only split a can. Can’t see it being something I drink a lot of.

Pours hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. Really pretty looking beer.
Smell is limes and pine with hints of vanilla
Taste is lime and pine with hints of vanilla sweetness on the back end. Don't detect any cinnamon. A tasty and refreshing beer nonetheless.
Mouthfeel is crisp and bubbly.
I could crush a lot of these on a hot day. One of the better non stout dessert beers that I've had.

Canned on 3/22/18; drank on 4/7/18; brewed with key limes, cinnamon, lactose and vanilla; interesting aroma but the smell and taste of cinnamon really throws me off; why would anyone want cinnamon in an IPA, particularly a light, fruity, session?

Smell: pine fresh cut grass initially as you dig deeper you get that lime and sea salt light citrus notes. It's smells really good and really interesting.
Taste: big let down on the palate initially you get that lime and salt but it quickly dissipates and this really aggressive green note and biterness take over the beer. Not a fan of this.
