Crisp Lime

Tap to rate

Crisp Lager brewed with a touch of lime: lime zest and a tart edge meet a clean, light, slightly malty base. The fruit is already in the can, so no assembly is needed at all. Built on malts, American Noble hops and lager yeast, this golden 4.8% beer from Central Pennsylvania is made for summer days.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Crisp Lime

◎ Appearance

Crisp Lime presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and gentle carbonation visible as a steady stream of fine bubbles. The head forms a thin, white collar that settles quickly but leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The overall appearance is inviting and summery, with the color suggesting a well-balanced malt bill.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright lime zest and citrus notes that rise immediately from the glass, balanced by a clean, grassy undertone from American Noble hops. Subtle malt sweetness provides a soft backdrop without dominating. There is no phenolic or yeasty character—the lime adjunct is clearly integrated and present from the pour.

◐ Taste

The palate opens tart and crisp, with lime flavors front and center across the mid-palate. The light malt base—built on clean, uncomplicated grain—provides just enough structure to prevent the beer from tasting thin or one-dimensional. Bitterness is restrained at 12 IBU, allowing the citrus and hop spice to lead without harshness.

◑ Finish
