Introducing Export Citrus, a refreshing and zesty pale ale from DB Breweries in New Zealand. This Radler/Shandy-style beer captures the vibrant flavors of the country's citrus groves, delivering a burst of citrus aromas and a balanced, vibrant taste experience. The beer pours a golden amber color with a moderate white head that leaves a thin lacing on the glass. The aroma is an explosion of citrus, with notes of juicy oranges, tangy lemons, and a hint of grapefruit zest, complemented by a subtle floral and grassy undertone. On the palate, a burst of citrus flavors hits the tongue, with a balance of sweetness and tartness. Oranges, lemons, and grapefruits dance on the taste buds, creating a refreshing and lively taste experience. A hint of malt provides a subtle sweetness to support the citrus notes. With a medium-bodied and crisp, clean finish, the carbonation adds a refreshing effervescence that enhances the citrusy flavors. At 2.0% ABV and 20 IBU, Export Citrus is a thirst-quenching pale ale that showcases the vibrant citrus flavors of New Zealand, making it an ideal companion for warm days or light, tangy meals.
