Mexican Lager

[jtrux]

Brewed a Mexican Lager using Motueka hops hoping to get some lime character out of it. The beer came out great, but lacked the lime character I was looking for. Added 1 oz at 5min. Should I have also added some as a dry hop? The recipe I used is as follows:

6.6 lbs 2-row pale malt
2.2 lbs Vienna
1.7 lbs quick grits
0.6 lbs Agave syrup
1 oz tettnang @60 min
1 oz Motueka @5 min

Mashed 60 min @151
Boil 60 min

Yeast Wlp-940

Any tips on getting a hint of lime taste?

Thanks

Dry hop with 1oz fresh lime zest

Yeah, maybe lime zest. Or perhaps at serving? I've found the supposed lime character in Motueka to be overblown - I don't get lime at all.

Maybe drink it while looking at a picture of a can of Bud Lime?

Thanks for the suggestions. To dry hop with zest, should the zest be soaked in vodka overnight first to sanitize it?
