Label Text:

“The Big Dipper shines bright every night in the northern sky pointing the way to the north star. This lovely lager is brewed with loganberries grown on Bauman’s Farm and German Callista hops. The combination gives the beer its pink hue and aromas of cane berries and hard fruit candies.”
