Springdale Beer Co. Lavenade Review

This tart lemon-and-lavender ale hits with fresh-squeezed lemonade and a sessionable level of acidity for a sour beer. It’d be a bit of a stretch to say it tastes like lavender, but having a floral, herbal note in the background is better than tasting like a bathbomb, so we’re fine with it. It’s a thirst-quenching refresher on its own, but Springdale also recommends using it as a cocktail mixer with gin, honey simple syrup, and yes — more fresh lemon juice.
