- Nose
- Fresh lime and gin rise through the foam.
- Palate
- This is a valuable fizz variant because it shows the family moving further toward lime-led, egg-thickened refreshment rather than just lemon-and-sugar templates.
- Finish
- The finish is tart, foamy, and brisk.
- Summary
- A lime-led egg fizz from the expanding charged-water family.
