Clear yellow with a fizzy head. Aroma of limes and macro lager. Yes! The lime comes through almost as a zest with hints of rindy bitterness, which was nice. I’d like this a bit more if it wasn’t so one sided and light, the same treatment would probably work great in the Labatt Maximum Ice I had the other week.

Clear gold, almost no head. Scent is mild lime, water. Taste is lime over super-lite beer. I’m actually shocked....it’s not terrible.....in fact, it might be okay to have a few around for a hot mowing day or a short canoe trip. I’ll give it a break for not being a limed up mess.....it’s ok for what it is ....with provisos.

12 ounce bottle poured a clear yellow color, aroma of grass, and lime. Tatse is grass and lime, not the best, but drinkable.

Bottle. Ah, lime and beer always takes me back to high school: Corona, lime, Surfside, and Zeppelin. Those were the days. Pours an average cheddar yellow with anose of sweet corn and lime. Aroma from the bottle is very similar to a Corona and lime. Flavor is saccharin, light lime, and corn syruped malt. Very diet esque. Watery mouthfeel. Not horrible but one is enough. B.F. Terry HS ’93!

Drank directly from a 12 oz clear screw top bottle. Smell is a little limey, of course. Look is simply clear lighter lager. Taste is a little lime with just a tad of soda pop attributes. Seems to go down rather easy. Not as rude as some lime beers but worse than others. Could use a little more sweetness int here to overcome the dull beeriness. Co2 is a little less than i’d like for this brew. Finish is mild light lager beer with a tad of citrus lime. No real ill characteristics on the finish.

Yes, I drank this. Yes, it was gross. It was, however, a lot better than I thought it was. The lime wasn’t as overpowering as I was expecting and really faded into the background nicely. Just meh, but not as bad as I thought it’d be.

Bottle. Crystal clear light yellow pour. White head to start out, then dissipates to a thin white ring. Aroma is surprisingly okay - first things I thought of were lime freeze pops or green kool-aid, and that’s not a bad thing (note I didn’t think of beer, though!). Super-thin palate, some carbonation. Taste again is just lime on top of a nearly blank canvas, which actually works out great, because the lime isn’t fighting with a bad grain beer, its just adding to a no-taste beer. I don’t hate this.

synthetic lime chemical soap sud. idk if its any better than miller or bud lime but on a hot day you can down one in one sip.

12 oz. clear glass bottle. Pours a perfectly crystal clear pale gold with a moderate white head that lasted through the first two sips and left no lace. The aroma reminds me of a lime rickey and is filled with fruity lime. The flavor is again dominated by the lime, and why not, the underlying beer is nearly flavorless with the barest hint of malt peaking through and no hops to speak of. Extremely thin, watery body, perhaps more so than any other beer I’ve had. Gave me a serious case of heartburn after about mid-glass and I ended up not finishing my beer.

Bottle. More or less exactly what I expected. Sweet lime with a hint of the base beer peeking through. No real offensive or off flavors.
