The lime gives it a weird sour note.
Stewart
The late lamented Hungry Mother in Cambridge's Kendall Square did basically this with Dr Pepper, and it was delightful in my drinking days.

Skip the lime. Rye and root beer don't want it to intrude on their delicious dance.
A bit too tart
There’s a bit too much lime- adding a few dashes of bitters helps too
Gail
We tried it with no lime and then added .5 ounces of lime. We liked both but I think 1 ounce of lime would be too much.
Johanna
Agree this was way too much lime. Next time, we'll just do the rye and root beer and garnish with a lime wedge

I'm sure this is personal preference, but I just didn't think the line juice was that great with the root beer. Root beer and either the rye or bourbon is always great, though!

This is the worst drink I have ever consumed. It is sour and sickly sweet all at once.

After halving the lime twice, I realized I'm a big fan of root beer and rye.

Not terrible, not great. Think I’ll stick with Manhattans and Sazeracs.

Can you substitute Jamison Irish whiskey for the Rye?

Agree. Not really pleasant.

It's lime... That's the point
