Perfect for the lingering fall heat, Swingle from Alpha Brewing Co. is light and crushable. The crisp, refreshing 5% ABV American blonde ale showcases just enough fresh-squeezed lime to induce salivation between sips. With a beautiful pale straw color and a nice white head, this well-balanced brew’s clean mouthfeel finishes with lingering citrus notes.
