A bold & tenacious sour brewed with massive amounts of key lime purée and a hint of salt. Crisp and refreshing - like a tropical vacation in a can.

Canned 7/7/21.
Translucent greenish-yellow, with light, quickly-dissipating white head.
Smell is lime zest and that "fresh ocean breeze" aroma, common to sour wheat beers.
Tastes like lime and bread crust, with a hint of salt and sour tang lingering after finish . The lime flavor is of less intensity than in the aroma. Light sourness.
Feel is light, with light, very,very,very fine carbonation tingle.
Overall , I enjoyed it, though wish it had a bit more carbonation. At first I was ready to knock it for being light on the lime, but it grew on me. I do like that the lime and sourness don't completely overwhelm the malt. Can still tell it's a beer, not a fruit drink. I could see going back for the full pack.

The color of diluted limeade with a thin, quickly dissolving head and a faint settings of lime zest.
Tastes like diluted limeade with a dash of salt.
Thin bodied with a slightly tart aftertaste.
Thin is what best describes this beer. The smell, taste, and ABV are all thin.
Hamburg is almost there, but something is missing
