OK, though I have my thoughts about calling it a beer! Ít has a fast disappearing head and a light golden amber body. Strange fruity aroma, I sense some lemon but it isn't obvious. Sweet at first, sour afterwards. Strong (though somewhat artificial) lemon flavor. As said, very different, but also very refreshing!

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.
