Lemon and Lime IPA. This IPA was brewed with natural lemon and lime juice and organic lime peel powder. We then aggressively hopped Sprizite with lemon and lime forward hops. Super bright, soft, lemon, lime, citrus bomb(without the acidity).

"Caffeine Free"
Not what I was expecting so it really caught me off guard. Oddly enough, this tasted similar to a less carbonated Sprite and lemon tea that inherited some hops. Alcoholic soda with a nice hoppy presence here.

Poured from pint can into snifter, 2 week old can. Hazy gold in color, slight fizzy head fades immediately and about zero lacing.
Nose is light hop aroma with big lemon and lime notes - lime is far more pronounced for me on the nose. It's exactly what you'd expect but is not overly complex.
Flavor is right in line. The hops are definitely very present but take a bit of a backseat here compared to their other offerings in the sense that the citrus really shines - and for me it's bigger on the lemon than the nose would indicate. This is an impossibly easy drinking refreshing IPA. I have a love/hate relationship with citrus IPAs and this one's flavor falls squarely in the "love" camp. The lemon/lime is natural, light, and clean. Works perfectly with this slightly subdued hop profile. But make no mistake, plenty of bitter here and not a ton of malt sweetness to balance it out.
Feel is nice - but definitely long on the bitter notes from the hops. Nothing overly brash, no watery note, but a bit thinner than I expected. Still, this is a fantastic summer citrus IPA and I could see drinking these straight from the can by the grill, pool, beach etc.
