LP Witbier, Dokkaebier
Description 

Did you know Szechuan Peppercorn is not a true pepper and comes from a plant in the citrus family? And it's also really hard to spell, but it does create a unique beer. Not spicy in the pepper sense, this fun and flavorful witbier is citrusy, herbal, and earthy.
