Description
At Traveler Beer Company we expand what craft beers can be by adding new flavors and discovering old traditions. We discovered the shandy tradition in Europe and are thrilled to bring this unique style of beer home, to you. Shandys exemplify everything we look for in a craft beer—they are different from the mainstream, fun, inviting, and social, and thanks to the finest ingredients, shandys taste amazing.

Looks like a hefe. Smells like lemon candy. Initially bitter with wierd lemon polish effect on the back of the tongue. I normally like shandies but could do without this one. Tastes a little like my lemon flavored fermented out homemade cider and that’s not saying much. Some fine co2. Overall, not impressed Yes, lemon furniture polish finish too.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a murky yellow color with a large foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was tart artificial sugar, lemon, ginger and orange. The flavor was wheaty and bready with fairly strong notes of orange, honey and a hint of ginger. Medium length finish of bread, orange and honey. Moderately full bodied. Very nice.

Like no other shandy, this has lots of sediment on the bottom of the bottle. Looks like a cloudy hefe. Smell is off permanent lemon. Taste is mild brew with lemon in there, comes across rather refreshing with a slight farmy effect. Yez, unique and hypnotizing is the overall experience. Each slug causes more curiosity, should ahve purchased a couple of these. Curious if they will keep making this. Does have mild attributes of an off lambic thing. Much better than expected. Must be around 4% alky? Not really sweet. Grows on you. As session continues, lemon perfume becomes more apparent.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy yellow-apricot color with a huge foamy yellow-white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweet lemonade. The flavor was tart lemonade and faint vague herbs. Long lemonade finish. Light to medium body. Very one dimensional - it is what it is.

Bottle. Sweet-sour lemon and barley malt aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with large head. Light sweet-tart lemon and barley malt flavor. Not bad - not too sweet but would have like a stronger malt flavor.
