Lime of the Party by New Realm Brewing was judged as a Category 23G, Gose, per the 2021 Beer Judge Certification Program Guidelines.
A highly effervescent, well-conditioned beer that delivered a firm tart lemon aroma in combination with other fruity notes immediately distinguished its uniqueness.
Pouring a very clear pale-yellow in color, this beer exhibits a light, bright, large white head that fell off quickly.
Sweet and sour flavors melded nicely along with a touch of vanilla and biscuity malt. Salt was barely perceptible yet lent its character to the tip of the tongue without overwhelming.
The body was light in nature and highly carbonated. Alcohol warmth was low and led to finish that was dry but not bitter.
A crisp, refreshing beer with a unique balance between sour lemon character and malty goodness that goes down easy and satisfies.
