We have to assume that not a lot of people want to sit down and make an entire meal out of nothing but lemons. They are typically a tertiary accompaniment that is there to provide acids to brighten up any dish or beverage. So why on earth would we design a blend completely around the flavours of the Sicilian lemon? In the gastro-chorus of flavour profiles, why would we give this fruit a solo? The truth is that lemons are frequently front and center in many culinary experiences but tend to keep a lower profile than they deserve. The shocking part of this release is the familiarity that comes through. You will likely recognize this flavour for what it is. How it plays with our house Brett cultures was even better than we had hoped. With an almost “spritzer” feel, it has the singular goal of achieving the pinnacle of refreshing, by design. While many beverages dance, this blend is unique because while it is dancing, it sings. Enjoy!

Sample thanks to Grumbo.
Clear orange brown. Aroma is intensely lemony. Taste is all the lemons - peel, zest, flesh, not much Bretty funk but definitely some woody barrel, very sour, sharp. Good stuff.

23/5/2026. Draft at The 2026 Cambridge Beer Festival. Lemony woody aroma. Taste? Well f*ck me that’s f*cking sour but very f*cking good.
