What about the beer?
Colour is bright light yellow with a small white head. Aroma has fresh lemon and a malty scent. Taste begins with sour-bitter lemon. Sour-tart lemon and bitter malts take over. Near the finish malty dryness is added to the flavours. Aftertaste has lemon sourness and gentle malty-dry bitterness.

Refreshing sour fruity American Pale Ale. Citra hop really comes through with bitter malt flavour and gently dry finish. Easy and nice.

Ölbeat

Almost picked the neighboring song Lemon, but this proved to be just the right kind of funky piece of music. Spoken disco rock - or whatever you want to call it - fits the brew perfectly.

From the 1993 album Zooropa, the song was written by U2.
