Lido

Tap to rate

Named after the Lido beach of Sant'Antioco island — the approachable summer pale ale from Sardinia's craft pioneer. Clean, refreshing, and ideal for the Sardinian beach lifestyle. Light golden with a white head; the nose is fresh with citrus and floral hop aromas. Balanced and easy-drinking, this is the gateway pale ale from one of the island's first craft breweries.
