Hard Lemon. It’s brewed but it’s not beer. In fact, it’s one of the biggest commercial success stories of the past twenty years in the US and in the run into the Australian summer, Matso's has debuted what they'll hope could be a game changer for many drinkers. Hard Lemon’s reduced sugar, low gluten and vegan-friendly credentials provide far-reaching appeal, with a flavour profile that may surprise.
You can read more about the style in our feature from early 2019 here.
After rolling the bottle to "awaken" the Australian lemon pulp, a light spritz carries vibrant lemon aromas from the slightly opaque yellow lemonade. Wisely restraining the Brix levels provides Hard Lemon with a dry, clean length on which balancing pith and peel vibes dance before resolving slightly tart.
