Clear amber body, with a faintly pinkish shine troughout. Off-white head which disappears instantly. Very strong lemon aroma (as the name made me expect :)) The flavour is like lemon juice with some gueuze added. The flavour is dominated by the lemon aromas (and therefore sour). Maybe these kind of beers will become more common sense in the future. And maybe I expect a stereotype flavour, but I just don’t like this one/this kind of beer.

Bottle @ home. Clear golden color, small white head. Smell is very much lemon indeed. Tastes about the same: slightly malts incredibly dominated by lemon flavor. I have to say it’s not very nice to drink, though not totally awful, but if the goal was to put lemon in a beer than they certainly succeeded!

250ml bottle. All I could taste in this was lemon. It looked like a beer but tasted like lemon-aid too me. My wife says she could taste the beer underneath and said it was terrible, but I never got past the lemon which was good enough. Avoid it if you had sophisticated taste buds, I guess.
