Cerveza Con Limón
New Holland Brewing Company

Had this beer as part of a flight at the New Holland brewpub on vacation in late July 2019. I noted on Untapped that I didn't "have to squeeze a lime for flavor as it's infused in the cerveza! A little metallic. And lime." I often go out of my way to request lime in lagers at Mexican restaurants (or on airplanes) because I'm looking for more bitterness in my beer than lagers typically provide.

Look is like a lager, smell is lemon. I could not finish this beer. It reminded me of half Bud Light and half lemonade. I do not like shandy beers so I am biased. But, if you enjoy lemonade or shandy beers, this would work for you.

Delivers on its promises. This provides a refreshing and imminently drinkable lager with enough lemon/like to give it a kick without tripping over into puckery territory. The type of beer that's gone before you know it.

 

Straw yellow in color with vibrant carbonation and no discernible Head. The aroma is of aggressive lime and lemon. I’m tasting very forward lemon and lime, which overwhelms everything else. The mouth is light but the lemon lime flavor is so aggressive that it burns the tongue.

 

 

 

Very tasty beer, really enjoyed the hit of lime - most of these citrus-infused lagers miss the mark but this one was excellent. Crisp, refreshing, easy to crush. Pours a clearer golden color with some light fluffy white head and spotty lingering lacing. Smells of some nice lime zest citrus, subtle grain, hops and malt. Maybe a little caramel and nuttiness. Taste follows the nose, with that great lime citrus acid that really makes this beer so enjoyable for a hot summer day. Smooth, mild, thin mouthfeel and good carbonation. I really enjoyed this one!

 

12 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 6/5/2019. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lightly tart/tangy limes, citrus peel/zest, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light corn, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of limes/peels, pils malt/grains, and moderate earthy hop notes; with big strength. Taste of big lightly tart/tangy limes, citrus peel/zest, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light corn, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery, citrus peel/zesty bitterness; and light citrus tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy limes, citrus peel/zest, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light corn, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Great robustness and balance of limes/peels, pils malt/grains, and moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with zero astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero fruity/yeasty notes. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitter/tartness, and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky/peel/zesty, and light acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is an excellent flavored Mexican lager. All around great robustness and balance of limes/peels, pils malt/grains, and moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/tart/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome balance between super vibrant limes, and clean pils malt/grains; with great earthy hop presence/balance for the style. Zero residual sweetness with crisp drying. Mild on adjuncts. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive well made style example as expected. Fantastic summer beer.
