If Ikea made beer, that's what the label would look like!
How was it? Please don't say "flat".

I genuinely thought it was more cider like than beer. It was slightly sour, lightly hopped, and appley. I like it, but not sure what to make of it. This is exactly the type of thing i hoped for when i challenged my BeershopHQ mate to curate me an interesting box of beer for the advent calendar.

Day 13: "Press to Zest" Siren (and Climponsons coffee) Lemon and Coffee Gose. Nice, tangy, refreshing but entirely convinced Lemon and coffee are a combination that fit well together,
