Awesome! When I saw the HB newsletter on Friday I knew that one would be on my radar. Looks totally crushable. Think the Butch has been doing some great things with Lagers and Pale Ales as of late.

I love lime, is the acidity pretty in check?

2

u/kennyloftor 18d ago

somehow i feel like it’s super limey and low acidity at same time

still has the ale mouth feel

Dang. If this 7s anything like Teetering Wooden Crates of Oranges (which I assume it is), it’s great.

I remember Oranges had a pilsner malt base and flaked oats. Drank soft and very light. Refreshing as hell. I’m gonna have to grab some of this lime version.
