Mother's D'Lila to debut

On the heels of their Doozy DIPA hitting Kansas City, Mother's Brewing Company announced that they will be releasing a new seasonal beer in July: D'Lila, a "super hopped up wheat". Fermented like a traditional wheat beer, hopped like a big IPA, and infused with lemon peel, orange peel and bergamot tea, this beer sounds like it will be fantastic for summer heat. Keep an eye out for this one next month.
