A very refreshing shandy. Used Red Breast 12, Lagunitas IPA (California) and homemade lemonade. Nice hop bitterness from the Centennial hops and citrus comes in from the Cascade hops and the lemonade. Much better that any commercial shandy.

Bushmills, Sprite, homebrew West Coast Pale Ale (5.6% abv)... Relatively dry, nutty (the brew), fruity elements accenting the malty base. Lovely! (5 Feb 2022, 5:33p)
