Summer Bright Lime

Tap to rate

Summer Bright Lime takes the Summer Bright recipe and adds lime during brewing. Citrus leads: fresh lime zest and juice over a very pale, dry lager base, with a light sweetness holding the acidity in check. Malt and hop character stay in the background, and at 8 IBU the bitterness barely registers. The body is thin, the carbonation lively and the finish short, tart and clean.

◐ Taste

Lime juice and zest take center stage on the palate, balanced by a light, dry Malz base that stays in the background. The acidity from the citrus is held in check by gentle sweetness, while the 8 IBU bitterness barely registers, allowing the tart citrus character to dominate. The body is thin and clean, with no heavy grain or hop flavors competing for attention.
