2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
341ml bottle - pretty sure via tupalev - been in my fridge forever, but it should be "fine." Very pale slightly cloudy gold with an average quick-diminishing white fizzy head. Lime?!!!? I get artificial lemon, weeds, a bit of alcohol. Taste follows - also not awesome. Thin, watery, okay carbonation, I finally get a bit of sweetened lime flavour in the finish, but by then the bus had pulled out of the station. Another flabby lime "beer"
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
355mL can poured pale yellow color with small white head leaving spots of lacing behind. A mild aroma of lime and some grain. Taste is lime with an undesirable bitterness in the finish. This is not a well done lime beer.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Can. Pinewood in colour. Very little nose, somewhat bready and maybe a just suggestion of lime that I have psychosomatically peeled from the label. Flavour is watery cereal and a bland, stale aftertaste. Very poor, even for a lime-flavoured beer, which is not saying much to begin with.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
It pours a straw color with no head to speak of, a pretty boring beer visually.
On the nose I am getting some grains and citrus notes.
The flavor is pretty low key, I am picking up some grain malts, it has some lime zest in there. A thin watery beer overall.
It finishes with some spicy notes which appears to be white pepper that lingers around. I have to say like most of the stuff from these guys it is mediocre.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Pours very pale golden yellow with small white bubbly head which dissipated really quickly. Smell - malty, not as much lime as I’d expect, slightly grassy, pretty faint overall. Taste - cheap lager with artificial taste of lime in there/ Honestly, I’d rather squeeze lime into Grasshopper and drink it. I guess it is somewhat refreshing and easy drinking, but I don’t think it worth to be a separate "type of beer". I don’t think I’ll buy this again.

Got this one at The Works in Ottawa, on tap. Another brewer doing the light lime beer I see. Kind of weird to have this in the middle of winter. Anyways, had to try one. Poured a decent golden colour with average carbonation, but not much head and lacing. Light lime smell with a crisp refreshing mouthfeel. The lime tastes more like real lime juice than syrup (like most bigger brewer doing a light lime beer). So, better than most, and has more of a normal beer taste than a light beer. Kudos for that !
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
[3348-20100813] 341mL bottle. Generic bland sweetened corn water aroma. Clear, light yellow body with a quick bubbly white head. More hints of lime cordial flavour has an odd corn aftertaste. Light body. Not pleasant.

1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
355 ml can from Beer Store. Pours a clear light yellow gold with thin white cap. Aroma is light and grainy with (rare for a ’lime’ beer) very mild lime, a little skunky. Taste is pathetically thin - grainy and mildly limey. Relatively light carbonation for the "style". A very bad beer but not as sickly and limey as the comparables. But why drink this stuff?
