The aroma is very sweet, dominated by caipirinha and with notes of malt. It has a golden color and a beutiful though collapsing head. The flavor is way too sweet and too dominated by caipirinha. It also has a lot of sour citrus to go with the sweetness. It ends on a slight but OK bitterness. It is light in the beginning but has an OK palate in the end. All in all it tastes artificial. Don't try it.

Golden, lacking carbonation. Fake lemon aroma, like Saxer Lemon Lager. Candyish lemon flavours. A kiss of malt is the only bit of beer here. Fizzy crackle adds a little crispness in the finish to offset the cloying lemon extract. Evaluated as a beer, it is poor, but it gets a good Overall Impression number because it is a lot like Saxer Lemon Lager, which I used to love sitting on the deck overlooking the Fraser River during my university summers. Recapturing that here in Toronto might be tough, but nostalgia helps me drink this whereas I don't imagine too many other Ratebeerians would want a second bottle.
