About
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.

Bottle at America on Tap Cloudy light golden color. Huge pumpkin pie spice in the aroma and flavor. I think I liked the grapefruit juice one a little more, Not a fan.

Bottle at America on Tap Cloudy light golden color. Huge grapefruit and bitter pith in the aroma and flavor. Honestly tastes like grapefruit juice more than beer. Not a fan.

12 oz bottle from a six pack bought at the supermarket. Aroma is strong in pumpkin pie spices along with strong floral notes, lemon, wet dog. Pours a weird dark muddy orange-brown with a medium off-white head that falls fairly quick into a ring. Taste is a mixture of pumpkin beer and lemon shandy with strong raisin, nutmeg, and lemon flavors. Body is medium to thin, mouthfeel creamy. This is my favorite Traveler yet. Billy and Brenn are going to love it.

Sampled from the bottle. Pours a clear amber with an off-white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has an odd combination of lemon and pumpkin spice. Flavor combines sweet grain, spice and lemon.

Keg pour at powder keg beer and chili festival. Aroma is fruit/grapefruit. Appearance is cloudy/hazy yellow with mild head with poor retention, trace lacing. Taste is nice medium sweet grapefruit. Palate is light to medium bodied with thin texture with nice carbonation that is very refreshing--perfect for a hot summer day. Overall, I liked this way more than I thought I would--not much of a shandy fan. But, for a certain setting, I could see this hitting the spot. Kind of an alcoholic Fresca.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 2/2016. Pours very hazy golden orange color with a 2 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of ruby red grapefruit, lemon peel, light pepper, wheat, cracker, light honey, light herbal/grass and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of grapefruit/lemon, pale malt, and light earthy hop/yeast ester notes; with solid strength. Taste of big ruby red grapefruit, lemon peel, light pepper, wheat, cracker, light honey, light herbal/grass, and yeast earthiness. Light lemon peel bitterness and grapefruit tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, lemon peel, wheat, cracker, light honey, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Very nice balance and robustness of grapefruit/lemon, pale malt, and light earthy hop/yeast ester flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/tartness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Moderate amount of dryness after the finish. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, and lightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present as expected of 4.4%. Overall this is a very good grapefruit shandy style. All around good robustness and balance of grapefruit/lemon, pale malt, and light earthy hop/yeast ester flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

12 oz. Bottle. Pale cloudy yellow color, thin fizzy head. Aroma is wheat and sugary lemonade.

The body of this is slightly fuller then it’s older German brothers. A bit more malt then I would have guessed. Still it’s mostly lemonade and wheat. Drinkable if you really want a Radler.

Bottle. I put this off really long and finally decide to tick a few shandy’s. I was hoping this wouldn’t be awful. The aroma is light lemons mixed with pumpkin spice. Odd.

Ok, so yes.. It is lemonade mixed with pumpkin spice. Nutmeg, cinnamon and an almost artificial gourd note. Sugary fake pumpkin. Well, I was expecting this to be vile. However, it’s only mildly offensive. Still will not revisit.
