Key Lime
Untitled Art

Don't waste your $17.99 for 12 of these. A $7.99 12-pack of bud light tastes exactly the same. Fun fact, they also foam like crazy if they're cold, open over the sink if you bother drinking this just to seem "cool" in front of your friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pale yellow body; nice carbonation; thick, sticky, soapy head. Low-key smells all around; faint lime; bread crust. Light cereal grain malt base; subdued trace of lime; strong hop bitterness lingers long into the finish. Medium bodied; smooth with a touch of citrus pop and tartness; mostly dry throughout.

The hop bitterness is a little overboard, but overall, a satisfying little pilsner that would be very fitting for a warm, summer day.

12oz can, served in a FFG willi becher glass. Pours a slightly cloudy light straw yellow body, one and half finger white head, fair bit of retention and lacing. This being a pilsner, I have to deduct some points for it being cloudy. Smell is crisp key lime tartness, light bread, touch of citrus, light grainy cracker. Key lime and citrus comes across the strongest here. Flavour is a more balanced mix of key lime and citrus with light cracker and breadiness befitting a pilsner. Crisp, refreshing lighter body, just enough of that base pilsner to keep me happy, but with a nice key lime tartness lingering throughout. A nice mix of adjunct and classic pilsner; I kind of wish this was released during the summer as that would be a perfect time to crush a bunch of cans of this. It being winter, I can't help but wonder if I would rate this higher in the summer.
