not sure if this is the same beer. I remember back in my teens, i used to buy a beer called Boomerang, and it was brewed by Labatt, it was a heavy lemondae flavoured beer that i recall was about 6%, so this must be it. Well i remember it has hint of lemon, but man it was like mixing lemonade with malt liquor, just awful stuff.

Pours a hazy pale yellow-lime color, toppe dwith no real head to speak of. Mild fruity aroma, and very sweet, sugary fruity taste. No beer-like qualities to be noted, really. Not even a radler.

Designer drink in between lemonade and beer rather than a real beer, already developed in the nineties by Labatt but now produced by AB InBev. Called a ’malternative’, this drink is purely marketing and represents the beery one in a series of lemonade-like alcopops (which got a lot of bad attention later for allegedly leading youngsters to alcohol). Loose, unstable foam, colour a lemonade greenish. Very sweet and very artificial, lemonade-like taste with loads of sugar and ascorbic acid, lemon extracts as well, no finish. It feels weird to rate this as a ’beer’ because although made from malt and even (indiscernible) hops, there is litterally nothing beery about this anymore; for me this belongs to the fringes of what can still be called beer, which makes it at least philosophically interesting. Was tested on the Belgian market some years ago and fortunately I haven’t come across it since.
