An unfiltered lemon-wheat ale that drinks like a shandy, but is 100% beer. We add a ton of lemon puree during fermentation and top it off with just enough Citra to provide some hop brightness. Summer in a glass.

This is described as an unfiltered lemon-wheat ale that drinks like a shandy, but gives you those NEIPA characteristics. There is a lot of lemon in here but I think it worked well. It is hopped with Citra and it shows in the taste. It's very light and refreshing but I can see where the lemon would be a bit too much for some people. But I enjoyed this.
