From the brewer
Burnside Lime Kolsch is brewed as a German style Kolsch made with premium pilsner malt and a touch of wheat and Munich malts. We then add Tettnanger hops, and ferment with the German ale yeast at 59 degrees to create a crisp, dry, and thirst quenching beer. Then the Burnside twist; we hand zested 200 limes, steeped a pound of Kaffir Lime leaf in the kettle, and added lemongrass to the bright tank. The result, a highly drinkable summer ale with hints of exotic ingredients from the east. Drink it with a lime!

Funky and rooty, with lime being just an idea rather than an explicit flavoring. Not crisp at all.
A strong scent of lime rind and grassy funk lead to a medium-tart kölsch heavily flavored with lime juice. Some malty funk in the finish as well. I couldn't tell if what I liked was the beer or the novelty.
Has that wet-dog-was-just-in-the-room smell. Wheat/heff tongue start along with some lime/citrus zing that continues just a bit after the grain body disappears.
