Well I can't really complain it is a light sour ale Brewed with blackberries and lime but yeah the overall experience is kind of lackluster. Not sure why they add lime to a beer that's already sour but overall decent?

As the climb across the dog days of summer leaves the palate quite parched. When beer isn't quite enough, breweries are turning to other drinks for inspiration, refreshment and necessity. And if you're Hi-Wire brewers, you turn to blackberry, lime and sour ale.
Pouring a goldnen blush hue and cast in a faint fine medium haze, the slight peach stained froth is loose and lacy before drawing in the senses with the lightness of blueberry, lime, cereal and grain. And it's those latter flavors that play a big part on the early palate with a light sourdough, cereal sweet graininess that play on the initial flavors like taffy.
Lighter in its candy character and more pronounced in the grain department, the middle palate opens up with a simmering cereal taste and texture. Then the overcast of lime pulls from the beer's natural tartness with green berry, green apple, white grape, cranberry and cider. Tart, refreshing and somewhat effortless in taste, the late palate shows hints of blueberry, spicy fruit skin tannins and a cola-like tact.
Medium bodied for sour ale the much more moderate overall, the somber ale is racy, refreshing, but off-clean. A greater dive into sourness and a drier substrate would help the fruits to stand out more and bring the beer better into balance, all the while giving sour ale fans the proper acidity and true "spritzy" character that they crave.
