Us lucky folk down under are slowly making our way back towards summer so it's almost time to crack out some light and refreshing beers to keep us cool. We've whipped up this Citrus Lager recipe that'll do just that. A nod to Export Citrus, this beer is crisp, clean and packs a lemon punch.
We think you're going to love this one!
