Uh... this has a pale yellow colour. White head that is like pop fizz. Aroma of some kind of Lime and adjuncts. The flavour of the beer is nothing. The lime flavour disipates very quickly. Plate of water.

THOUGHTS: The flavor in this beer went from 60 to 0 in 1 second flat. There was a bunch of flavor, which wasn’t necessarily great, just strong and then it was just gone. The salt must counteract the sour part of the lime, becuase when there was flavor it was all sweet lime. If you are going to try this one, it is one of those rare beers that actually tastes a little better straight from the bottle. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a light yellow with tons of variously sized bubbles and an average, soapy, white head that mostly diminished. The aroma was light grain and moderate lime and maybe some salt. The flavor was mostly sweet and acidic with some bitterness, sourness and some salt. The initial flavor was not bad. It was mostly lime and just a tad of salt, but then the finish was awful. It was like watered down Tequeza or flat 7 up poured into a Miller Lite. Thankfully the finish was short. The light body watery at first and then suddenly dry. It had fizzy carbonation at first that later became softer. The finish feel was moderately to heavily astringent.

This beer is messed up! So freakin weak, I got it for free at a miller promotion at a bar. Just cause it was free I had it, I would never buy this beer again. My friends and I agreed that this was a girly drink. What I’m surprised at is the alcohol content 4.2% wow!

nice alternative to corona, however a bit limy - nice to enjoy a few of these on a summer eve.

NEWTIMESBEERFREST07. Nose is artificial lime. Tastes like a mixture of Sprite and Gatorade. I can’t give this any points, as it lacks any comparison to what I know as beer.

Bottle at Don Hall’s @ Coventry, FW, IN. Large white fizzy head that was mostly lasting, fair amount of lacing, transparent, visible carbonation, and a yellow hue. Nose was very sweet, lime and salty. Ditto for flavor along with a thin flavor. Smooth, thin mouthfeel and light body. If you like sweet tasting beers, have at it. Didn’t taste like a "real" beer IMO and definitely one that I will not drink again. Try it and decide for yourself.

Why? Why did Tom have this beer? Why did Tom leave it for me? Why did I keep it? Why did I decide to drink it? Why am I rating it? Why oh Why?
