I suggest you get a motion sensor because you will have a hard time keeping your gardeners away from this lager, with hints of Lemon– but not just any lemon– a Meyer Lemon, which is so smooth and quietly sweet.  Meyer lemons grow large, with thin skins that will turn a soft golden yellow when ripe, fooling some into thinking it’s an orange.  This beer is perfect for outside parties, not too heavy on the ABV (4.5%) and serves out a cool smooth taste getting you to want another before the first one is done.  But your favorite part is when you shift your attention to arriving guests with pained expressions on their faces as they head toward the beer cooler expecting to reach in for a why-bother-yet-another-light-beer, but then their world turns upside-down when they pull out from under the chill of ice water, a colorful can, and their expression goes from one of nausea to pure delight as they flip it open and take a swig, then reach in for another while their other elbow is still well above their head draining the first one, not coming up for air but manage to emoji a look that others instantly recognize as, “take a selfie with me… this tastes awesome!”
