I try to be as open minded as possible. This, however tastes like one of those cloying Asian premade marinades from the grocery store. Not for me.

Bottle shared @ work. Pours a light golden with small white head. Sweet aroma here! Graham cracker, lime, sweet marshmallow, and some bready malts stand out. Flavor is light and easy drinking with tons of lime, sugar, and a slight tang. Different to say the least and I would say this was executed well. Could probably only drink one after a meal though...

Bottle. Tart lactic lime, subtle graham aroma. Hazy amber with a small beige head. Sour lactic lime, graham, yeasty malt flavor. Medium body and carbonation. Just not my thing. I like key lime pie, but this is gross.

From the September 2012 3R6P gathering. Wow, they really managed to capture the essence of key lime pie +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a caramel color with a small soapy white head that faded instantly and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was tart, dry, chalky, lime and bread. The flavor was tart and sour key lime, gram cracker and chalk. Long key lime, bread and graham cracker finish. Light to medium body. Odd but very interesting.

Poured from a bottle received just this morning from UncleRudy and company. Thank you once again. Pours a hazy light copper with a thinner white head of foam. In the aroma the lime zest really comes through strong. There’s an interesting creamy note to the beer as well. Some bready Graham cracker comes through in the finish. Interesting beer, but I don’t think its my thing, really. I expected to really like this beer, but its just a little too astringent for me.

Bottle thanks to mikem409. Pours an opaque golden brown with a very small head. A few tiny pieces of....something...floating on top, no clue what, certainly not yeast. Aroma is heavy lime, key lime pie, and soy sauce. Taste is a lot of lime with some graham cracker, surprisingly bitter and not sweet enough. Finish is bitter, tastes of lime pith. Light-medium body, moderate carbonation. Sounds interesting and tasty on paper, but not good at all.

draft at brewery. Pours a rich amber color and darker than I was expecting. The nose is mainly lime. The taste is weird for sure. Actually does taste like a key lime dessert. Light and crisp and finishes clean. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap. Deep dark golden pour. Smells like key lime pie. Note for note. The flacor leans towards lime. Plenty of graham cracker and malt. Delicious.

Draft at Old Chicago. Pours a medium orange color with a decent head that lingers a bit. Aroma is lime, bread, malt, and cream. Taste is better than I expected. Lots of like and cream but not overpowering. Moderate sweetness, smooth finish. A pretty decent fruit beer and worth trying if you like limes. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a hazy caramel color with a thin foamy lt tan head...floaties. Aroma smells of lime and ginger with some doughy notes...like a lime soda. Flavor is like lime soda with some soury notes and very faint dough...tastes a bit like soy sauce. Mouthfeel is light/medium with a limey soy saucey finish.
