Recipe – Northern Brewer Lemondrop Saison
This was the last of the initial 3 kits I ordered when I started back up with brewing this year. Took a while to brew it so the ingredients weren’t the freshest, but it still turned out quite nice! It’s got good flavor and color and is a hit so far with my wife.
