• Mouthfeel: Light in body and well-carbonated, the mouthfeel is very crisp, tart, and juicy with a dry, slightly sweet finish.

Overall pairing:  The Claypool Lennon Delirium's "Lime And Limpid Green" is a wonderful tribute to the original musicians and tracks; the Prairie Key Lime Pie is a tasty, sour, and complex brew.  Together they make for a fantastic companionship!  'Nuff said!
