![]() In specific for Scrag Mountain Pils Salt and Lime, this beer was *perfect* for that post lawnmower refreshment while relaxing in the pool (as in the picture at the top of this post). There’s something to be said for taste and timing in general. As it turns out, the opening sentence of this paragraph was written shortly after my first experience tasting the beer. ![]() In fact, the second time I had the beer I did exactly that, finished mowing the lawn and cooled off in the pool with this beer. This is the kind of beer I want cold and in my hands as soon as I’m finished yard work or sitting by the pool. ![]() The crackery/bready elements of the Pilsner are there, the lime comes in for some refreshing tartness, and the salt on the finish balances out the whole beer extremely well. That first sip is great, it hits the notes of refreshment I was hoping to get from the beer. Not tart and overpowering lime, but definitely present. As I bring the glass to my nose, the lime aroma enters my senses. In the glass, it looks exactly like I’d expect a Czech Pilsner (or any classic Pilsner) to look – clear, yellow, with some bubbles, and a little bit of head. While Lawson’s Finest Liquids built its reputation hop-forward beers like the renowned Sip of Sunshine, all the styles they’ve brewed have essentially been “hits.” They took their popular Scrag Mountain Pils and added Salt and Lime, to both evoke a margarita (or “Scragarita” as it is called by Lawson’s) and a popular Mexican lager that is known for people adding a lime to the bottle. Owner and brewmaster Sean Lawson grew up in New Jersey before heading up to Vermont. While Lawson’s Finest has become a Vermont brewing institution in recent years, the brewery has NJ roots. This special version of our traditional Czech Pilsner, known affectionately as “Scragarita,” is infused with lime juice and sea salt for a well-balanced dance of crisp and tart.įor this review, I’m covering another beer that works perfectly in the Summer, and sure, I feature quite a few Lagers here at The Tap Takeover, but this is the first Pilsner I’m reviewing in almost a year. “The Vermont brewery known for hoppy IPAs has crafted a slamming, refreshing Lager perfect for Summer.”įrom Lawson’s Finest Liquids’s landing page for Scrag Mountain Pils Salt & Lime:
