"Bright orange and citrus flavors shine through in each sip with a crisp finish to balance out this medium-bodied wheat beer," Gabbett said. "The aroma brings forth subtle notes of orange peel rounded out by hints of clove, inviting you to take another sip."
Lord Hobo's 617 White Ale now is available in 4-packs and 12-packs at retailers around the Northeast. Additionally, 617 White Ale, 617 Hazy IPA and 617 Lager all are available at Fenway Park this season.
