Vancouver Island Brewing Juniper Lime Ale Fruit / Vegetable Beer at 7% ABV | 13 IBU (C$7.49 at Oak & Vine, 650 ml, packaged on 1-Jun-2017, acquired 3-Jul-2017, reviewed 6-Jul-2017)
Appearance: clear medium amber with an explosive overflowing white head diminishing rapidly to nothing, no lacing. (2/5) Aroma: ginger ale, artificial lime, faint juniper. (6/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate tart, low bitter. (5/10) Palate: medium slightly slick body, moderate-soft carbonation, sweet warming finish. (2/5)
Not very good at all. I warmed up to it very slightly as it warmed me up, but only slightly. Sweet to the point of being slightly sickly, and doesn’t smell or taste like a gimlet to me – more like a rye and ginger, if anything. (10/20)
