Clean and tangy Lager with a big citrus flavor. It is hard to say what the Lotus hops taste like, since the orange and lemon are more dominant. Meyer lemon peel is quite bitter as well, so between that and the hops the aftertaste is more bitter than you might expect from a Lager.

Pours a clear pale golden with plenty of foam in the Affligem chalice. Abundant orange peel aroma. Tastes rather dry with only a hint of malt. Then it gets quite bitter, which reduces the drinkability for me. From the 16 oz can purchased at O'Shea's. Dated 3/2/23.
