Smooth drinking lager. Pours clear golden. Almost sweet for being salted lime. Would recommend on a hot day.

Canned 2021, 148th day
Pours a light fizzy 1/2 finger head with med retention, low lacing, hazy pale to golden straw color
Nose brings light lager notes, light malt, a bit macro mexican lager but not skunks, plenty of lime and citrus but like artificial lime
Taste brings plenty of lime again, a bit artificial and a bit like key lime, general citrus and zest, citrus oil, light macro Mexican lager again but not skunks, fruity character and very very little malt, fair salt on the back end, drier but somehow grimy feeling finish
Mouth is lighter bod, med lighter carb a bit soda like
Overall pretty poor, like Corona dumped in a margarita, Def not something I enjoy in a supposed craft beer

From the Yemassee KOA Campground store.
Pours a slight hazy golden color with a finger thick white head.
The lime shines though on the back end, nicely balanced.
Like it!

Poured from a can (no date I could find) into a mason jar
L: pours a slightly turbid dirty gold with a very large white head that fades somewhat quickly
S: lightly salty, malt-forward aroma with a bit of lime aroma cutting it but not much bitterness. More of that corn/adjunct lager nose, was expecting more of a salt-forward almost gose nose
T: follows the nose fairly well, that adjunct lager sweetness leads with that lime flavor coming through more and a bit of salty character. A pretty straightforward taste, if the salt was amped up a bit or if the lime carried through more flavor/some bitterness would enjoy it more
F: medium+ body, medium- carbonation, that almost syrupy feel I get from AAL
O: a perfectly drinkable lager that teases at being something better. If either the salt or lime character were more pronounced this could be quite good. As it stands more of an AAL with a bit more to it

An ok entry into lime flavored brews. Got as part of the variety pack while visiting Hilton Head. Goes down smooth enough, with biscuit and cracker malt, a touch of tangy lime, but only just enough salt to make you wish they had used more. The wife loved it, however.

On draft in Charleston. Poured alight straw color with barely any head but it maintained a nice lacing as I drank it. The lightness of the carbonation was very refreshing. A little hoppier than I'd prefer but it was balanced by the mild lime and salt flavors, which were just the right level, not overpowering but noticeable. I had it with a lobster roll and the pairing was perfect.
Not a great lager but good and one I'll enjoy having again.

The beer is somewhat hazy and straw in color. The head that does forms vanishes quickly. It smells biscuity and with hints of lime. The lime does not overtake the rest of the beer, nor does the salt. This is also evident in the taste. It is biscuity once again with pleasant light hopping. It is slightly salty and limey. The feel is loose, but not watery. The carbonation isn't very strong. Overall this is refreshing beer with an interesting twist of salt and lime.
