Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for American-Style Fruit Beer calls for fruit aroma from subtle to intense that is not overpowered by hops, bitterness from 5 to 70 IBU in balance with the fruit, and 2.5 to 12 percent ABV. Lime Drop's published 4.8% ABV fits; its IBU is not published.

Gaps

Research Notes

  • Style, ABV, lime and sea salt verified on the brewery's beer page and its what's on tap listing; both give 4.8%.
  • IBU, hops, malts and yeast are not published by the brewery; an Untappd search did not surface a Lime Drop entry.
  • The page gives no availability window beyond a link to the brewery's beer finder.
  • No 2026 GABF announcement from the brewery was found.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Field pass 2026-10-13: The Brew Pub listing and BeerAdvocate listing provide no IBU or named hop varieties. BeerAdvocate reports 4.9% ABV, compared with the existing brewery value of 4.8%; the existing value is retained.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the tasting notes are the sensory sentence of the brewery's own description; a web search found no hop, malt, yeast or IBU detail.
  • Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 5 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
  • Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (brewery Toast menu (403), web search): found nothing new; 2 pages tried. Nothing new. Toast order page returned 403; searches return only homebrew and other breweries' lime lagers (excluded). No IBU, hops, malt or yeast published.
