Notes

Description from Northern Brewer:
Lime Tree Lager is the perfect beer for enjoying outside on a warm summer day, or for bringing back memories of warm
days during cold and dark winter evenings. A simple malt base of barley and rice paired with a modest addition of classic
German Hallertau hops become the stage for the natural lime to shine. Bright, clean and absolutely refreshing, Lime Tree
Lager pairs perfectly with pools, friends, and classic American barbeque fare.
