Bottle thanks to Mario. Hazy light yellow with small white head that leaves no trace. Some lemon, dough, light grass and some witbier spices. Medium sweet, under medium metallic bitter. Almost medium bodied. Meh.

355ml bottle. Pours a cloudy pale yellow with a thin, white head that fully dissipates. Sweet aroma of lemon. Sweet flavour of lemon and wheat. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Disappointing.

Not very good. I guess I’d rather have straight lemonade or a straight light beer than try to drink one of these again. Tastes like lemonade with a bit of a beer aftertaste and that’s really about it. Can’t imagine drinking more than one (I was at a grad party and it was about par for the course).

Draft. Cloudy pale yellow color. Aroma of citrus. Taste is much more lemonade than beer.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 8/31/2015. Pours hazy bright golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lemonade, lemon peel, wheat, cracker, light honey, herbal, grass, and light pepper. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of lemonade, pale malt, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemonade, lemon peel, wheat, cracker, light honey, herbal, grass, and light pepper. Minimal herbal/spicy bitterness and light fruit tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemonade, lemon peel, wheat, cracker, light honey, light herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Good balance and robustness of lemonade, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness/tartness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness after the finish. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a nice lemonade shandy style. All around good balance and robustness of lemonade, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and clean to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Can from the mixed pack. Dirty blonde pour with a white head... Strong lemon aroma with light florals. Taste is dominated by the lemon, light florals and grass. Definitely has a spritzer feel. Meh.
