Grapefruit Flavored Lager
What it is
This is a lager beer infused with the bright, zesty flavor of grapefruit.

The grapefruit is typically added during the brewing process, allowing its essence to meld with the malt and hop profile. It is a lighter, more approachable option for those who enjoy fruit-forward beverages.

How to keep the rest
Store any unopened bottles or cans in a cool, dark place, such as a refrigerator or a cellar. Once opened, it is best consumed promptly to preserve its fresh flavor and carbonation. Leftover beer may lose its effervescence and taste less vibrant over time.
