12 oz can for a couple bucks. The name of this beer is misleading, it is not a shandy. Even on the can it says its a fruited ale. It pours cloudy pale something like lemonade. Odor is slight lemon pledge. Thinking this was a shandy makes the first taste a total disappointment, it simply just a really bitter, poorly made, fruit beer of some sort. Its phenolic in nature and there is no tartness or shandy sweetness in here what so ever. The sharp non hop bitterness reminds me of the character of some rookie brewer trying to find his way towards his first decent beer. It says an IBU of 14, its got to be at least double that. It does have a little bit of co2 but it is nearly flat. I suppose they brewed a ton of this bomb and didn't want to dump it in the sewer after they spent so much revenue on it, they just named it something that would attract a shandy liking ticker like myself. Been fooled again! The only thing shandy radler about this mess is its color.

2$ can from chalet in n. lima. Pours a hazy lighter colored pale. Nose is clean and fresh lager with a bit of cream corn. Very thin pond scum head. First taste is unexpectedly a sharper bitter bite, not really hops, more of a phenol bitter. Very good carbonation but it don't help the enjoyability factor here. Yes, the bitterness is not that of a pilsner, but more of the kind you get from inexperienced brewers. That odd to say for this brewery, I haven't got that before on any of their other brews. Oh well. Gets a little more difficult in the middle. That band-aid plastic flavor keeps on keepen on. Its in the forefront on the finish. This one a little disappointing. They should have put more effort in the tasting as they did on the label.

2$ can from chalet. Pour is perfectly clear pale yellow. Nice white head fades quickly mellow. Nose is not really high hops apparent, more like a mild pine scent transparent. Terrible on style bitter of the original IPA bitterness, circa the early year 2000 chipperness. This one is a hop-heavy brew, it tastes like pine-scented glue. It gags down the throat, like a toxic green goat. It made this bold macro lager lover drinker turn blue. Such an extended rude ass brew. There, you have it. Its so doggon nasty too.

Refrigerated 12 oz can poured into a glass. Dark brown with small beige head. Aroma is dark malt, medium body, lower carbonation, and very little lacing. Taste is rich dark malt, wood, vanilla, Worth having again.
