If the good Lord had intended for there to be lime in beer, he'd have filled Germany, Belgium, etc. with citrus trees.

(yuck)

Are you sure of that name? The U.S. brewer Sierra Nevada makes a barleywine by that name. (high alcohol content, lots of hops for the style)

Some of Sierra Nevada's beers make it to Australia so I wouldn't be surprised to learn that, even if SN Bigfoot isn't currently exported there, the Bigfoot brand name has been protected by copyright or trademarking.

Of course there was the Sail and Anchor brewpub in Fremantle, which back in the late 1980s used their distance from San Francisco and their relative obscurity to make and sell a beer made in the so-called "California common style" under the admittedly logical name "Anchor Steam Beer".

Or the brewery (name reserved to protect the guilty) that thought the producers of The Simpsons TV show wouldn't mind if they made and marketed "Duff Beer" using the name and logo of Homer Simpson's favorite cartoon beverage. They were wrong, and packs of ravening lawyers were released upon them. The surviving examples of 'Aussie Duff' have become rare collectables with a case of 24 cans, according to Wikipedia, having sold at auction for US$13,000.

I was offered a BL Lime the other day by a dock mate - it was ice cold and surprisingly refreshing. I'd drink it again on one of the infrequent occasions when I drink beer at all.

My husband and I were at a festival last weekend. We were eating lunch at a restaurant with a huge outdoor eating area. My husband and I noticed a lot of people drinking the Miller Chill and deciding to have more than one. I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet. However, I have been known to put a lemon slice in my honeyweiss when it's an option. I find it very refreshing.

Well, I'm on a diet now, so am drinking light beer only. Yesterday it was Amstel Light, with, you guessed it, some lime juice sqeezed in.

Now I have to go out and find Beck's Premier Light, which is the "lightest" beer in the world (only 64 calories!) and probably tastes like bilge water, but with a lemon wedge might just do the trick...

These are a lighter take on the Michelada and there actually some Michelada beers on the market.

I personally do not like the taste of the pre-squeezed versions.

Me too. Bought a six of Miller Chill last year when it came out, out of curiosity, and found it undrinkable. I think we threw out the last few bottles.

I'm curious about BL Lime though. At my age and size I should be drinking light beers and most are pretty flavorless.

Understood, but do you want that flavor to be lime or beer? I wish I could recommend a full flavored light beer but they're mssing from the US marketplace for the most part. When I feel like I need a lite beer, I drink
Yeungling, Rock or Abita with Abita being my favorite of the three, but also priced locally at almost double the other 2. I'm guessing you wouldn't find it outside a specialty store (World Market?) at home and I'd check the date on the bottle fer sure.
