2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
2009-10-24. Crisp yellow body, small white head. Mild aroma, citric acid, muted lime notes. Acidic lime over mild sweet pale malt, very light grassy hops meld with lime in an interesting way. Average plus palate is lightly carbonated. Okay, meh. Better than expected, it pretty much tastes like a lager with lime juice in it. On tap at the brewpub
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Draught at the brewpub. Pours a clear pale yellow with a spare diminishing creamy white head. Mild aroma is sugary sweet limes. Flavour: Ugh, watery artificial lime. Average bodied. Not good.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
[2532-20091024] Tap. Sweet lime cordial aroma. Clear, light yellow body with a quick creamy white head. More tart lime cordial flavour up front then finishes with a nice house yeast. Light body. Certainly "for a certain audience" but fair.

2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Draught. At the brewpub. Clear, wan pale yellow with a small fizzy-creamy white head. Weak aroma - basically lime flavouring and dishsoap. Flavour - ugh - watery; like a tequila cooler mixed half and half with Corona Light, then watered down even more. Weak slightly harsh mouthfeel, leaves a cheap fake lime aftertaste. No thanks.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
On tap at the Barley Works. Poursa a clear yellow gold with small white head. Fairly artificial, candyish sweet lime nose. Taste is lots of lime, though not as sweet as the aroma might lead one to believe. A little watery. Better than Bud LIght Lime but that’s not saying much.

So the Huether has jumped on the lime bandwagon, by adding lime to one of their lagers (not sure which one). Anyway, this one poured a light yellow with a large creamy white head. Lots of lime in aroma - much more than Bud Light, not as artificial, and light malt. Taste is as expected - light carbonated body, lots of lime, almost mint like - pretty refreshing. That lime gets cloying after a while though. Anyway, as advertised, it is what it is - half a pint with brunch was enough for me.
