From the can’s scenic design to the tropical citrus flavor inside, this beer was designed for those slow summer moments of enjoyment and appreciation. Savor tropical notes of orange, passionfruit and mango. Its intense fruit flavors, malty character and satisfying palate are unique for a beer of such low ABV.
