300ml bottle from Tesco - Bright golden looking body, fine fizzy lines, decent white head. Nose is shandy. Lemonade, bit of beeriness at the back end. Taste lime hits you up front, masking anything of character. Slightly stale and watery at the back end. Tasted in the name of science.

Bottle. Clear golden (getting closer to orange) colour, foams up into a big head which disappears very quickly. Aroma of citrus fruit, lime. Sweet tasting, very light, like drinking a shandy to be honest, with an almost non-existent hint of a bitter finish. Ok as a summer beverage.
Summer 2014.

Tipica shandy. Clarita con apenas espuma. Aroma citrico y a casera. A medicina. Sabe igual. Si te la tomas con mucho calor y sed se agradece. Si no, olvida.

Bottle from supermarket. Pale straw colour with almost no head. Aroma o’s slickly lime cordial, taste of synthetic not real lime. Really really bad, might as well have drunk lime cordial.

Bottle from Boldmere rd booze busters bazaar; yellow pour with persistent white head, the zestyness almost out weights the skunk but ultimately fails to achieve, very forced on the flavour front sugary and lime jelly.

Appearance: Clear golden color with a big white head that ends up in a thin layer. Light lacing.
Aroma: Fresh citrus fruity.
Palate: Medium light body. Tad sweet and a mild bitterness. Average carbonation.
Taste: Mild sweet citrus fruity.
Overall impression: Probably very refreshing when it is boiling hot on a lovely beach. Otherwise…..ehh….
Personal stats: Bottle from a trade with tommann.

Slightly citrus fruity lager, but also slightly skunky given the natural light exposure in its clear glass bottle.

330ml bottle from local shop. Pale golden colour, thin white head and citrusy lime aroma. Syrupy sweet with orange & lime cordial taste. Watery light bodied, fizzy. Very bland.

330ml bottle. Pours light gold with a large, frothy head. Aroma is lagery corn and faint, soapy lime. Taste has a little corn to start with some lime in the finish. Not horrid, just really bland. Also, this is in the tax dodging bastard range, but when it’s not on offer, it will be more expensive then regular Carling. Coors trying to make a quick buck?

330ml bottle. Another beer prompted by the 2.8% ABV tax break. Straw with a billowing white head; clean lemony aroma; thin lemony, beery, flavour - exactly as you’d expect from a lager shandy; and a sweet finish with the citrus tasting anything but natural. This would be fine served ice-cold in the summer.... if it ever stops raining.
