Lime juice does vary in terms of acidity, according to factors like the size of the fruit, freshness and season.

Yeah and I think we have an issue in Australia where the fruit is often picked very under ripe for storage and transportation, so tends to have abnormally low sugar levels, and high bitter and sour elements - lemons in particular can be bitter rather than/as well as sour. And yes seasonal variation etc.
