From the label“BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND This fan favorite is back for a limited time only! Brewed with prickly pear, a cactus native to our brewery's landscape, this tart yet slightly sweet brew has a bright, fruity flavor and floral aroma unlike any other summer lager. It's crisp and refreshing—the alternative to drinking from the hose. Cheers! Ingredients: Water, Malted Barley, Malted Wheat, Organic Prickly Pear Fruit, Hops, Yeast, Natural Flavor”
