Lively, crisp and clean, this German-style sour ale is infused with sea salt, coriander and lime for a refreshing journey south of the border. Notes of oak, vanilla and caramelized banana are balanced by hints of tart lime and tequila, tapering to a slightly salty finish.

Light yellow color on the pour. The smell is very pleasant and is very lime forward but there is a faint alcohol smell, not specifically tequila though. The smell reminds me of an irish buck, if you went extra heavy on the lime. The flavor is great as well. You get the citrus first but get a light ale flavor at the end, unlike a lot of sours that are nothing but citrus. The beer goes down smooth but not as smooth as i would prefer. That being said it is miles away from being considered harsh. I would highly recomend this beer to anyone new to the world of sours. I would put this beer on a top 20 list for certain. If you get the chance pick one up.

This presently ranks in my top three brews. It strikes a near-perfect balance between refreshment and complexity - a rare combination. It's a great beer to wash away a hot day, yet has an intriguing enough flavor to please a more discerning drinker. The lower ABV makes it sessionable, and contributes further to the brew's uniqueness. Typically, beers with this flavor profile have a higher alcohol content. It may not appeal to everyone, but to my limited experience, it's the best summer beer available.
Smell is grain and limes. Carbonation is somewhat heavy, but does not lead to a frothy texture. Taste is lime, oak, and grain, with a hint of tequila. The oakiness is the most noteworthy characteristic, creating a flavor profile reminiscent of an american wild ale. Aftertaste is clean, and leaves the mouth watering for more.

Best by 8/6/20, kinda weird for a BA beer to have a best by date rather than a packaged date but oh well
Ahhh, tequila. My second favorite alcoholic drink, only topped by beer. It’s also odd that the abv is this low in a BA beer, but I’m intrigued
Pours a cloudy good with 2 fingers of white head that quickly fades to a ring and leave no lacing
There’s quite a bit in the aroma here. For as much as I smell tart lime and salt, I get very sweet caramel and vanilla notes. I suspect this was aged in barrels that housed a darker tequila, as the charred oak rounds out the nose
The initial sip is full of bright lemon and lime, with a heavy dose of salt that can be felt on the tongue. As with the aroma, the back end of the sip contrasts the tart with sweet notes of agave and vanilla, yet still maintaining subtle lime throughout
The body is borderline medium and has nice prickly carbonation, leading this to somehow be drying and mouth coating at the same time. Regardless, still refreshing
This is way better than the reviews here led me to believe. Real authentic tequila with a nice tartness, I’ll seek this out again

Pale yellow in color with orangish hues and a heavy haze. Poured with a moderate, bright white foam with medium retention. Tart fruit aromas with notes ow wheat malt and vanilla. Medium bodied wit medium carbonation and soft creamy feel. Tart fruit flavors, lime, mellow tequila notes and vanilla. Tart lime flavors and dry saltiness follows to the end. Finished dryly with a lingering sourness and vanilla notes. Tart, crisp, refreshing, very tasty.

12 ounce can - $1.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a softened yellow hue, nearly clear, with a dissipating, white head up top.
Smell: Limes-n-lemons, vanilla-flavored yogurt, creamy wheat, and salted corn pudding.
Taste: A gentle kiss of wheat porridge dosed with vanilla, sea salt and blended with standard-issue yogurt and corn. Particularly faint wood tannin resting on the tongue. Fruity touches of pear, green grapes before one last pop of lime, acidity as you reach the drying finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Reasonably crisp.
Overall: Good, not great.

Pours a clear, syrupy gold with over two fingers of yellowed head. Spotty lacing.
Lightly tart aroma of lime and a little wood.
Dry tasting. There’s a flash of strong lime, but it quickly retreats — replaced by a clean, dull light wood, tequila and salt in the finish.
Medium bodied and somewhat oily feeling for the style with zippy carbonation.
I was expecting a little more tart citrus character through the aftertaste. I’m not sure the barrel aging helped this one.

5 oz pour on tap. The predominant flavors are tart lime, wheat, and tequila with a hint of salinity. I was surprised by how prominent the wheaty flavor was, but other than that it was pretty much as expected. Quenching and refreshing.
