On Cloud Lime is a crisp lager of 5 percent, brewed on Pilsner malt and released for the warmer months from March to August. It pours pale gold. Zesty lime peel leads the aroma, with white bread and a note of honey from the malt underneath. The citrus reads sweet rather than tart, the body is light, a mild bitterness keeps it balanced, and the finish is crisp.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and light-bodied, allowing the sweet lime character to develop on the palate without astringency. The malt provides a soft, slightly honeyed backbone that supports the citrus without overwhelming it. A mild bitterness arrives in the mid-palate to provide structure and prevent cloying, maintaining balance through the drinking experience.
