Although mustard is usually only associated with hot dogs, burgers and pretzels, French's is introducing a limited-release Mustard Beer that's meant to be "sipped, not squeezed." The unusual beer takes the form of a semi-tart tropical wheat beer with notes of citrus fruits to pair well with the flavors of French's Classic Yellow Mustard. Thanks to the zest of key lime, lemon, tangerine and passion fruit, the beer is said to be a tart and refreshing match for the familiar and slight spice of the brand's mustard.
