This pours a clear amber with a reasonable head that fades quickly, at least quickly for a beer made with wheat. I’m not sure what keffir lime leaf smells like, but I do recognize the lime peel. In fact the aroma and the flavor are reminiscent of the preserved lime peel I had once. Light body, more flavor than you’d expect from a macro beer, but not awesome. This would probably be averaging closer to a 3 if not for its source.

Bottle. Weak nose and appearance. I was really disappointed with this beer because I love Blue Moon. The addition of lime leaves was a mistake, in my opinion. Lime peel probably would have been a much better choice.

12 oz. bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with foamy, off-white head. Looks enticing. Not much nose, smells of wheat and slight banana, maybe some slight citric notes. Taste is an unfortunate amount of lime-esque notes accenting a wheat malt body with a slightly crisp ending. No hops, no real taste other than the lime. Odd metallic aftertaste. Could be the age. A big "eh" from me.

12oz bottle from BevMo! Pours a clear bronze color with a fizzy white head. Not really a wheat ale. Had some citrus notes and some maltyness to the aroma. Kind of a dry taste. Hint of lime. Bitter finish.

Tasting this, i thought it resembled closer to a lightly hopped american pale ale. Pours orangeish with a small head, aromas are somewhat citrusy and of subtle hops. mouthfeel is full and creamy, little fruit on the finish. otherwise decent beer.

Its OK, the aroma its practically non-existent,the body its like a brown ale, with soap-bubbles-like head,the flavor has some sour lime present quite not good,altough its very subtle doesnt fit well in the recipe,the palate, its a bit acid but from that quite forgettable.Overall its nothing outside of this world.
