Taste

The palate opens with pronounced orange juice sweetness and natural citrus flavors that drive the flavor profile immediately. The underlying Beck's lager provides a clean, slightly malty backbone that prevents the beer from becoming cloying, while the minimal bitterness (8 IBU) allows the fruit to shine without resistance. Mid-palate is smooth and juicy with a refreshing, zesty quality that builds toward the finish.
