Bottle. Pour was medium light golden. Slight lime aroma with very light malt. Flavor was again light to medium lime but the lack of malt flavor made the brew undesirable. Slightly grassy flavor. Would not buy again.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear golden amber color with a medium head. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma is strong musty wheat with lime notes and grain. Taste is toasted malts with big acrid citrus notes and some corn. Medium bodied.

Bottle... Poured amber with an off-white head. Cracker, malted grains on the nose. I thought it was going to be really bad with the lime, but it was bad in another way. Not very wheaty at all. Way too much carbonation that stripped my mouth. Flavors were earthy with corn flakes probably from the malt and a little bit of a leafiness in the finish.

Light copper, off white head. Light citric in the aroma, some toffee like hints. Simple maltiness, semi-sweet, overlayed by lime peel, a tad wheaty. I actually liked the crisp mouthfeel on this went well with the lime. Overall not too bad really.

Pours pale amber into a shaker. White micro head subsides to skim the surface leaving no lacing. Caramel and mild lime aromas. Crisp with very muted wheat and limes from front to back. Somehow tastes macro and style-bending at the same time...

Copper color with two fingers of off white head. Aroma is light lime zest. Taste is weak grassy spiciness with a muddled lime leaf finish. There isn’t much wheat in here but does have a nice balancing hoppiness.

Bottle from Canals. Copper pour with a spice and sour citrus aroma. Wheat is noticeable but it is too thin for my tastes. It was just below average.

not bad but not what I was expecting. Much like the pumpkin, this beer has a serious lack of flavor up front and makes me wonder did the take unfiltered coors light and let some limes sit in it for a day and try and pass it off as this??
