Summer has finally decided to show up in the UK. While friends have been galivanting around European locales sunning it up on beaches and sipping drinks in the late evening heat, the UK seemed to skip summer and go straight to autumn. Not anymore though – August is doing what it does best. 

And with the rising mercury comes the need for your new drink of the summer – Damm Lemon. A “clara” brewed with a traditional Mediterranean recipe, using six parts Estrella Damm beer and four parts Mediterranean lemons*, finished with a dash of Caribbean lime for an extra hit of zest, this is the ultimate Mediterranean refreshment. 

This iconic drink was born from a simple Spanish custom; mixing beer with lemon to cool down on hot days, especially after sport. It became a go-to order in the bars of Barcelona throughout the 1990s, so in 2001, Damm decided to create their own take on the experience. The result was Damm Lemon.

Damm Lemon is a golden pale colour with yellow highlights and white head. The notes of cereals mix with citrus and fresh aroma perfectly match the refreshing taste. Sweet citrus notes show the presence of fruit, supported with a light hop bitterness for balance.

At just 3.2% ABV, it’s an easy-going drink ideal for sunny afternoons, laid-back lunches, refreshment after sports, and warm evenings with friends.

And what's in the name? In Spain, the word "clara" means “clear” – a reference to the lighter colour created when beer is mixed with citrus. The name reflects both the appearance and the lighter feel of the drink.

You’ll find Damm Lemon on draught at select venues across the UK, as well as in major UK retailers such as Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Morrisons, Co-op, and Ocado.
