Here it is, New Oliver Beers Sunday (Week 771) & I feel like I am in some kind of loop. My local, in-person trader, @tone77 is the sole reviewer, to date, while I get the photo credit! The CANQuest (tm) is a loopy beast in which things take place regardless of time & space restrictions. I am at a loss for words on this one!

From the CAN: "MexiCAN Style Lager"; "Beer Is Our Healer"; "Brewed in collaboration with Stoner Rock BBQ, this MexiCAN Lager is crisp and light-bodied with refreshing hints of lemon and Kaffir lime leaves."; "Oliver Brewing Co. has been proudly brewing craft beer in Baltimore, MD since 1993."; "See the special recipe pairing here: https://goo.gl/oirfd9 ".

The link no longer seems to be working, but hopefully the beer will have curative properties. I decided that the only way to determine this would be to Crack! open the CAN. Having done so, I went with my first slow, gentle C-Line Glug of the day. This resulted in the formation, albeit brief, of a finger of fizzy, foamy, rocky, bone-white head that quickly dissipated into wisps. 8=( Color was Straw-Yellow (SRM = > 2, < 4) with NE-quality clarity on this cloudy, rainy late-Fall day. Nose smelled like a Corona after you squeeze a lime wedge into it. Now, for a little bit of CANification - this beer had a clean biscuit maltiness, unlike the aforementioned AAL, but the scent of lime was just too prevalent to simply gloss over. Mouthfeel was thin-to-medium, not watery, but close. The taste was VERY much like drinking a lime-infused lager, very citrusy & quite refreshing. I CAN totally see this at a MexiCAN restaurant in lieu of the usual suspects & especially since the lime is built-in with this one. Finish was semi-dry, very refreshing, very citrusy & very welcome as I transition towards bigger beers. YMMV.

I didn't add this beer, but it looks like I'm the first to review it. Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a straw color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of sweet malts, light grains. Taste has lots of lemon, I didn't get that in the aroma, some malts. Feels medium/light bodied in the mouth and overall is a mediocre beer.
