Mas Lima

Tap to rate

A hint of salt and lime pops through this ice-cold, crispy lager at 5% ABV. The brewery's own style line reads Salt & Lime Lager, and its pitch is written half in Spanish and full of beach imagery: listen to the waves, satisfy your craves. It runs year-round from Oskar Blues, which began in a Colorado bar in 1997.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Mas Lima

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with immediate citrus and lime notes, lending tropical brightness to the otherwise restrained profile. A subtle saline quality emerges beneath, complementing the Edelhopfen's gentle, clean character. The Malz base remains soft and recessive, allowing the adjunct layers to occupy the foreground without assertiveness.

◐ Taste

The palate strikes with crisp acidity and lime zest in the entry, followed by a light, mineral-driven mid-palate that sustains the saline character. Bitterness remains restrained at 22 IBU, providing gentle structure without dominance. The body is lean and refreshing, with the salt-lime pairing creating a distinctly appetizing sensation that invites repeated sips.

◑ Finish
