About the beer
With loads of orange peel and under 5% ABV, this beer is a real thirst quencher on a summer's day. The light body comprising of pilsner and wheat malts lays a great foundation for the spices and orange peel to shine through. This combined with citrusy Hallertauer hops leads you to believe there is more fruit in there than there actually is.
