341ml bottle poured into tulip 10/7/15
A murky orange liquid, not a whole lot for bubbles, head, zero lace, not looking all that hefe
S fake lime candy with some dry cereal and faint banana chips and spice I can't place
T sprite like lime flavoring, a little hefe yeast in the background but its overwhelmed by "lime"
M feels like sprite, spritzy, prickly pop like carbonation, slimy on the palate, soggy cereal and lime jolly rancher on the finish
O more like an alcopop then a beer, nowhere near a drain pour but nothing I'd ever care to bother with again
Don't worry people, no limes were harmed while making this "beer"

341ml bottle, another constituent of the OSB summer 2015 mixed hefeweizen pack.
This beer pours a hazy, medium apricot amber colour, with two skinny fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some dissipating archipelago lace around the glass as things quickly subside.
It smells of lime pie crust, grainy wheat malt, a bit of earthy yeast, faint table pepper spice, and soft weedy, leafy hops. The taste is acidic aged lime juice, a mildly gritty wheatiness, tame pale malt notes, white pepper, a very subtle further banana peel fruitiness, and weak earthy, leafy, and kind of green hops.
The bubbles are quite plain and yet agreeable in their buzzing frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, the guest ingredient here not in the mix-it-up mood. It finishes off-dry, the lime doing well to justify its paycheck, while the now generic malt keeps up, round for round (metaphorically, of course).
Like its ginger brethren, only to a lesser extent, the lime takes over this beer's more subtle attributes, rendering the hefeweizen part of the equation a moot point. Easy to drink, however, and a few leagues removed from the typical lime light lager dreck, but still not something I could see myself willingly acquiring again.
