We’ve partnered with our good friends at House 6 Brewing in Ashburn, VA to bring you a spin on one of our favorite treats: KEY LIME PIE! Our kettle-soured Key Lime Berliner Weiss is made with Golden Promise Pale, Wheat, and Acidulated malts, a little bit of lactose and lightly hopped with Zythos. With over 100 pounds of key limes, a touch of graham cracker and a soft complexity, this one is in the running for our favorite beer we’ve brewed. This is pure vacation in a glass and will transport you straight down to the Florida Keys!

On tap at brewery:
Pretty much what it claims to be, lime and lactose form the pie impression, with even a little bit of graham cracker coming through.

Hazy pale orange golden with a medium ring of head. Nose has lime and a vanilla/meringue note that I’m sure is the lactose combined with my preconception of the pie notes I’m expecting. The graham cracker comes through in a very light aroma.

Taste it more sour than expected from the nose. The lactose hits in back and definitely brings a desert note. Something in the taste as the lime faded reminds me sort of coconut cream pie, oddly.

So this basically stays a lime sour throughout in the taste, with allusions to the dessert. The nose is much more key lime pie-like. A fun beer that has a bit more to it than just its name. It depends on whether you want a sour or a dessert beer - this one’s taste falls more in the latter, even if its nose doesn’t so much.
