Based on the classic Bitter Shandy, Lemonale is a 2.2% light ale brewed with heritage barley and fresh, organic lemon juice front and centre. Light citrus sourness adds depth and balance to a sweet, caramel grist with East Kent Goldings providing a gentle bitterness and earthy, floral aromatics.

Keg at Innis & Gunn Brewery Tap - the one in Glasgow city centre. Amber-brown with a small head. Its lemon is more obvious in taste than aroma, although it's fighting against quite a robust bittered pale texture and taste for this lower end strength brew.

Cam from Westhill Service Station. It pours clear brown with a small bubbly white head. The aroma is sweet - sour, zingy, bright, pithy, zesty, vibrant lemon, brown bread, touch of warming spice, dusty, gingersnaps and dull toffee. The taste is firmly dry upfront, pithy, zesty, lemony fun times, lemon cordial, puckering, sherbet, toasty grain, brown bread, ryvita and touch of spice with a zesty finale. Light body and fine carbonation. Works quite well. Very drinkable stuff.

Can from Appellation Wines. Pours clear brown with a thin off-white head. Aromas of lemon and brown bread. Taste has ginger snap, toffee and more lemon. It's nice, but it's not shandy bass enough for me!

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - amber with a very light haze. Thin quickly disappearing white head. Nose - lemon, ginger, toffee and brown bread. Taste - more lemon, ginger biscuit and toffee. Some hazelnuts going into praline. Palate - light bodied but good texture given the low ABV. Nice bitterness. Overall - good.
