2009-11-27. Pale yellow with a tiny white head. Huge powerful lime aroma, fresh lime juice. 7+ Flavour is quite mild, lime juice is light, touch of sprite like character. Light palate. Meh. Better than expected, but that is not saying much. The aroma is actually quite nice. Bottle shared by GregClow.

Bottle 341 ml
Aroma stale vegetables, oxidation from light followed by lime soda drink. Brisk artificialle!
Appearance decent looking , clear golden base with neatly contrasting whit head (even if it was short lived).
Flavor and Palate : Light bodied , watery texture with faint grain. Factory processed citrus at finish, who would like to drink this as regular drink I wonder?

From February 2010 tasting with blankboy, garthicus, gregclow, jerc and mabel. Bottle courtesy of gregclow (yes, one 341ml between 3 of us - how much of this shit would you want me to drink? Ugh). Pale flat-looking yellow with a minimal white fizzy head. The aroma’s surprisingly non-pukey - mostly just full-on sweetened lime with a bit of paper. The taste follows, but the papery harshness digs in, the best thing to say is it’s not massively sweet, surprisingly. Light-bodied, harsh biting mouthfeel, with a slightly unpleasant "cheap" aftertaste - ehhh - could be worse - I swear, that tastes like "real" lime juice, not a flavour syrup.

Bottle [12oz] shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus, jerc & mabel -- c/o GregClow. Pours a clear pale gold with a small white head. Aroma of grain and somewhat artificial lime. Very watery flavour of your typical macro Light beer mixed with fake lime. It is what it is. Meh.

[2603-20091127] 341mL bottle. Half concentrated lime, half urinal puck cake aroma. Clear, pale white yellow body with a quick bubbly white head. Sweet lime juice cordial flavour. Light body. Blecch.
Overheard: "I like burning things." -- when asked why the ping pong ball was crushed and lit on fire.

Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement minérale. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de lime en arrière goût. (Rating #3778)

A very light lime aroma is okay. Otherwise, this is awful. Sweet, lemony, sugary, absolutely horrendous.

Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer poured a pale golden color with a medium sized soapy white head that left some lacing. The aroma was very reminiscent of Fruity Pebbles cereal. The flavor was tart and tangy with an artificial lemon presence. Dry finish was lingering lemon. Light body. Not good.

Pours a mellow golden yellow color. Aromas of grains, light hops, and a funky musty smell. Flavor is bland with a weird funk, salty lime.

Looksmlike perry in the glass, not green tinted at all. Lime olfactory seems to be covering an otherwise slight veggie aroma, I thinkl the lime even makes the cabbage aroma bolder. Very light and citrusy limey flavor. Quite sizzly. Dull lime finish. Not bad overall, somewhat acceptable for a typical fruit beer. Grows on you, could be sessionable.
