Limerado

Tap to rate

Limerado is a salt and lime lager: a squeeze of lime and a dash of salt on a base of premium pilsner malt, at 4.5% ABV and 19 IBU. It is a seasonal release from Odell in Fort Collins, Colorado, where beers are centrifuged rather than filtered. Odell began in 1989 in a 1915 grain elevator in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Limerado

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with bright clarity, characteristic of the pilsner base and Odell's centrifuge-based production method. A fine, white head forms with moderate persistence, leaving delicate lacing on the glass. The beer presents an inviting, light straw appearance with lively carbonation visible throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh lime citrus notes, sharp and appetizing without being aggressive. A subtle salt minerality sits beneath, complementing rather than overpowering the fruit character. Light pilsner Malz rounds out the profile, creating a clean, refreshing aromatic foundation with no fermentation byproducts.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and zesty, with lime flavour establishing itself immediately on the palate. The salt element adds a subtle savory complexity that enhances thirst without becoming briny. Mid-palate shows light body with gentle sweetness from the premium pilsner foundation, while low bitterness (19 IBU) allows the citrus and salt interplay to remain the focal point. Finish is dry and mineral-forward.
