This drink conjures Balinese dreams. Our burnt apple oolong Avalon mellows the bitterness of porter beer, leaving sumptuously smooth, lightly effervescent baked apple coconut flavor. It’s a rich and dreamy drink. With half beer and half tea, you can take your time sipping this shandy without a big buzz or sugar crash.
