Cloudy Lemon Lager: The Drink of the Summer?

When the sun’s out and the grill’s on, nothing hits quite like something light, zesty, and just a little bit different from your regular tipple. Which is when you might reach into your fridge and pull out a refreshing Lemon Lager. A refreshing citrus-forward brew that’s fast becoming the hero drink of summer. And we’re not the only ones who think so.

From back garden BBQs to festival fields and after-work picnics, lemon-infused lagers are making serious waves in the alcohol-free world — and Nirvana’s own Cloudy Lemon Lager is leading the charge.

What Makes Cloudy Lemon Lager So Perfect for Summer?

Lemon lagers have been around for a while, based on a traditional German Radler, or even a more hand-made shandy, lemon lagers combine the best of both words with refreshing lemonade and crisp, balanced malts.

Nirvana’s version is:

  • Zingy with real lemon juice for that unmistakably fresh, citrus pop
  • Balanced with a soft malt body that smooths out the tang
  • Crisp and ultra-refreshing, especially served ice-cold, always a good idea to keep a couple ready in the fridge
  • Award-winning (yes, really - it’s not just us saying it’s good)
  • Repeatable alcohol free, making it a great brew you can enjoy all afternoon

It’s the kind of drink that makes you exhale with that first sip. Light enough for hot days, flavourful enough to feel like a treat, and alcohol-free so you can stay sharp, social and hangover-free.

We recommend, for those who can, turning it into a slushie! You’ll be hard pushed to try and find something more refreshing on a scorcher of a day.

Why Is Everyone Suddenly Obsessed with Lemon Lagers?

Besides the reasons above, it’s not just Nirvana getting in on the lemony goodness. Big names in the no and low beer space, including the likes of Lucky Saint, have begun experimenting with lemon-infused brews too.

Why? Because lemon lager hits the sweet spot.

It’s not just beer drinkers who are getting behind this growing drink. The lightness and citrus flavours make it perfect for people who usually prefer lighter spritzy options, or for people who just want to upgrade their lemonade!

It is 100% natural, no sweeteners or preservatives, making it the healthier option if you’re looking for an alcohol free beverage but only sugary soft drinks as an alternative.

It also pairs beautifully with BBQ food and summer as a whole.

So, Is It the Drink of the Summer?

We think so. It's got all the sunshine-friendly traits:

  • Low ABV
  • Big flavour
  • Crisp finish

And while the rest of the industry catches up, Nirvana’s Cloudy Lemon Lager is already chilling in fridges across the UK, waiting for its moment which just so happens to be right now.
