Goat Patch Brewing Company’s summer seasonal, Citrus Summer Drink Fruited Pale Ale, hits shelves this week.
The brewing team at Goat Patch loves to experiment with exotic fruits in their recipes, and this new Pale Ale is no exception. Brewed with Calamansi (a tangerine-kumquat hybrid) and lime, Citrus Summer Drink is uber refreshing and bursting with citrus flavor accentuated by citrusy aroma hops Glacier, Motueka, and Mandarina. Its lighter grain bill lets the fruit shine, and additions of wheat and flaked barley give the mouthfeel a pillowy boost.
“Calamansi has become popular recently because the orange-lime flavor combination is more vibrant than just orange and softer than just lime,” says Darren Baze, Goat Patch Co-Owner and Director of Production Operations. He and his brewing team have used this fruit in a few recipes already, and they’re excited to see this latest creation in cans in the Colorado marketplace.
Goat Patch Citrus Summer Drink will be available in six-packs and on tap through springtime at the three brewery locations, and across Southern Colorado— all while supplies last.
