O.T.I.S. Tequila Lime Barrel Aged Lime
Strangeways Brewing

 

 

 

Definitely a margarita beer. Lots of salt, lime, and tequila, with a little bit of pucker that mimics the tartness from lime juice. I don't hate it, but do think it's a waste of perfectly good OTIS. The original is delightful, but this is just okay for me.

 

Pours a light golden color, slightly hazy with short-lasting head. Aroma of pilsner malt, slight melon and cucumber, euro hops, light tequila, vanilla, juniper, sour orange and lime. Flavor is on par with the aroma with more melon, tequila and cucumber coming through as it warms. Not a punch in the pace sour, more like sucking on a lime that has been soaked in water. Feel is light carbonation is med-high. Overall not bad, but would like it to be more sour. The barrel definitely adds more character to the base beer, but still feel like it needs a little more sour punch and a little less lime. Almost gives me that Rose's Lime Juice taste which I don't find appealing, but not in a super overpowering way. I feel like it could be a great beer with some minor tweaks.
