Yes the trend in lime-flavored beers is not a good one. They all taste the same, not very beer-like, just watery, limey crap. Oh yeah, it was labeled labatt twist and it was fizzy yellow beer.

Sep 17, 2008 12 oz. bottle from Tmoney99. Pours a clear light golden with a medium sized white head. The aroma is weak pale malt infused with a very artificial lime scent that just doesn’t excite me. The flavor is actually a bit better than I would have expected from the nose. The pale malt had just enough lime citrus flavor to make it somewhat drinkable. I did have this after working outside on a warm day so maybe my judgement was a bit off. Regardless, this will be a one time thing.

Sep 2, 2008 Presentation: It was poured from a brown 11.5oz. or 340ml bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: It has a light golden color with a thin white head. There is lively carbonation visible in the beer which has very good clarity. The head is fluffy and fades fast leaving just a ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass. Little to no lacing is left behind on the glass.
Smell: The aroma is rather light but there is a hint of light grainy malt, mild grassy hops and a pleasant citrus scent.
Taste/Mouth feel: Its flavor is very similar to its aroma. There is light grainy malt with mild hop flavor and bitterness, along with a nice touch of citrusy lemon and lime. The palate has a light, easy to drink, body with a watery texture and lively carbonation.
Notes: It makes a good warm weather or “lawnmower beer” and I would say that it is better than some of the more popular citrus flavored light or pale American style lagers.

Sep 1, 2008 Bottled. Poured very bright, almost watery golden with a dusting of white head. The aroma picked up artificial lime extract on a bed of pale malts.. non-offensive, but not good. The flavor had even more of the lime with corn syrup and pale malts at the core.. drier and fizzy on the scratchy finish. Light-bodied bordering on watery on the palate.. very artificial.. some Sprite stuck on the short finish. Don’t need to drink this one again.

Sep 1, 2008 12 oz. bottle of Labatt Twist: Pretty gassy stuff, looking like a fizzy yellow lager and having an aroma of corn syrup and dried lime pulp. The lime turned into lime peel in the flavor, pretty well hiding the cheap beeriness present in the nose. Once was enough.

Aug 17, 2008 Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma is mainly citrus. Flavor is a hint of lime but overall watery. Not terrible but not great.
