From the label“It's 3 AM in Goa, Mexico. She's on vacation and wakes-up from a crazy dream about a beer. She begins recalling each everything she could remember. "Glowing, golden, singing, infused with Buddha's Hand is this Nirvana." She had to make it. The final year is this radiant golden sour ale with a unique, super citrusy Chinese fruit called Juddha's Hand. Specs of gold lance through as sweet lemon aromas burst from your glass. Live culture. Naturally carbonated in the bottle, please open with care.”
