Tasting Tuesday: Freshy Lime Lager by Market Garden Brewing

If you’ve ever said, “I want something light, refreshing, and doesn’t punch me in the face with hops,” then congrats — Freshy is your beer.

This week’s Tasting Tuesday brings us to the heart of Ohio City in Cleveland, home of Market Garden Brewing — a brewery that combines clean, sessionable beer with serious food, community vibes, and a giant flashing rooftop BEER! sign that’s basically a bat signal for thirsty adults.

And their Freshy Lime Lager? It’s as crushable as it sounds.

The Beer: Freshy Lime Lager

• Style: Lager with Lime

• ABV: 4.3%

• IBU: 20

• Availability: Year-round (because thirst doesn’t follow seasons)

Freshy is a lime-infused lager that leans hard into refreshment. It’s like a citrusy handshake for your tastebuds — light, crisp, and here for a good time, not a long story. Whether you’re mowing the lawn, grilling something questionable, or just vibing on a patio, this beer fits the mood.

Tasting Notes:

• Look: Light straw-gold, crystal clear, minimal head

• Smell: Fresh lime with that clean lager backdrop

• Taste:

  • Crisp, dry, and easy-drinking

  • Lime is present but not overpowering

  • Slightly sweet start, clean finish — some say almost artificial, but it stays in crushable territory

• Feel: Smooth and bubbly. Very lawnmower-friendly.
