HONEY AND LEMON BLITZ Download BeerXML
THIS BEER IS
Honey & Lemon Blitz sees tart Berliner Weisse character multiplied by lemony acidity; light bready malt and a hint of warming honey hold this back from the brink of palate- destroying sourness.

BREWER'S TIP
Be careful not to over do the smoked malt as it’s just a background flavour and you don’t want it to be prominent in the finished beer.
