Paper Lantern with Lime
Cerebral Brewing

16 fl oz, can, no date. Friend gifted to me after a recent trip to Colorado. According to the label, this beer spent 3 weeks in an American Oak foeder before being transferred to stainless for another 6. Saaz hops.

A: Color is thin, super light, like light beer with a splash of green. Finger of frothy white fizz, and lots of good carbonation streaming topside. Looks decent enough for what it is.
S: Definite authentic lime juice / zest is apparent. Slightly wheaty / bready smelling beneath.
T: Hugely limey. I'm a big fan of lime honestly, so it isn't terrible, but the flavors of the rind / zest certainly overpower any other mainstay characteristics of a lager beer. Not grainy tasting at all. I'm having difficulty finding any hop presence either, and certainly no trace of oak wood or vanilla flavor at all.
F: Crisp, clean, good carbonation, slightly bloating / seltzery, but it works well in this situation, and would be inappropriate if it was otherwise.

Certainly unique. Would pair well with taco night.

Would be interested to try more conventional offerings from this brewery as this was my first beer from them.
