THIS BEER IS

A variant on the 2008 release of Bad Pixie, but hoppier. Substituting the lemon peel for Ahtanum provided a vibrant floral and lemon citrus hit, balancing the slight tartness from the wheat. This dry, effervescent brew is perfect on Scotland's one day of summer.

BREWER'S TIP

Brewers Tip Icon

Give the juniper berries a quick blast in a food processor to break them up - otherwise they can jam up your fermenter.
