Limeburner
Light, crisp and refreshing, with a hoppy accent arriving late rather than up front. The colour is pale straw and the hops are German noble varieties, which gives the beer a character closer to a continental lager than to an English or American pale ale. That was deliberate, and the result reads as a Koelsch-style interpretation. Limeburner is named after a sea pinnacle off Fanad Head.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Limeburner
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
