Ever taken a key lime pie to the face? This beer is kind of like that. To start, we brew it with graham crackers and lactose. It then moves to the big tank where we add a whole lotta key lime puree and vanilla. Finally, we lay it to rest for a while. Mmmm…scrumptious! All of the notable key lime pie flavors come through and balance out the hoppiness of this double IPA. Simply sub-lime!

Gift from a friend.
While I think they hit their mark, this is not something I care for personally. Nose is tart lime and vanilla, taste follows well. Mouthfeel on the thin side.
This is 'beer that doesn't taste like beer' to a greater degree than I can personally support.

From the 03/15/19 can release
Appearance - Pours hazy and light orange with a fair bit of sediment floating about. Off-white, half finger width head that displays fair retention before peeling back to a mostly barren surface with a razor thin, broken ring of suds around the edge of the glass. No lacing.
Smell - The aroma is on-point. Sweet, lightly tart lime, vanilla and graham cracker can all be found on the nose.
Taste - Lightly tart and sweet key lime, vanilla and a graham crackery base makes this a near perfect flavor profile. I actually wouldn't mind a touch more lime tartness here.
Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with low carbonation. A bit thicker than the two previous Mindshakers, but suffers from a flat, lifeless finish.
Overall - Another great Mindshaker flavor plagued by mouthfeel issues. Damn, what a shame. Thankfully their Key Lime gose is 5-6 weeks away from its annual release.
