Beer #275 - Baylands x Small Gods / Consider The Common Lemon

BEER // The lemon. Simultaneously exotic and commonplace. Its origin and parentage are unknown but humans have cultivated and prized this unique citrus for two millennia in medicine, decoration, religion and the kitchen. The concept behind this beer was to showcase that most marvellous fruit alongside complimentary Lemongrass hops atop a very light malt profile. Alongside lashings of lemon juice, we added oats and wheat to the pilsner malt to give the beer a full, soft mouthfeel without adding malt flavours. Consider The Common Lemon has low bitterness but with some pithy tart zesty notes. We think it's a refreshing, quaffable and rather unique ale.
