this one’s really different. half wheat beer - half lemonade! Hard lemonade you say!? Not hardly! none of that sweet-tart taste here. This was served to me in an ice filled glass with a straw. it was soo crisp, clean and refreshing. Quite pleasant.

This brew pours a medium head of fine to large sized white bubbles and a macro swill looking carbonated straw yellow body. Strangely enough I got a sweet malt honey smell from its aroma. Wow the taste is something else again. Definately different. it starts off with a slightly fizzy mouthfeel then settles smoothly in the finish. No bite or linger aftertaste. It has flavors of sweet malt and honey. I didnt get the lemon in it though. A refreshing change from some of the other brews. Not bad at all. I am gonna have to give it a decent rating just on this fact. Very interesting brew this one.

Russ’n Mak. Not my style if I want lemon in my beer I’d put it in myself. For the younger kids.

weak lemonade aroma. almost clear pour, faint yellow. loose bubbly head that leaves nearly completely. barely any bubbles or head left. mmm watery lemon, light, a bit fizzy. i actually liked this. its pretty damn refreshing and its something for a sweaty hot day. (today peaked at 83) light alcohol so that's good for a very hot day. hmm, i like it. i like it cold. it gets sticky and artificial when warm and that's not good. drink it cold, on a hot day, and be refreshed. that's about it, simple cold lemon beer.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear golden with a rough white head. Sweet lemon aroma. Light body, rather sophisticated lemon notes with a dryish, astringent finish. Appears almost grapefruitish. A nice Radler. 300111

Sampled from bottle. Pours a clear, pale gold with a scattered white head. Aroma is mild lemon and the flavor is syrupy sweet and resembles lemonade. Light-bodied and well-carbonated. After having approved a number of radlers through BP’s beer approval process, I was interested to try this style... and now I have.

This Fruit Beer poured a medium white head with fine-small bubbles that quickly dissipated. There was a lot of carbonation rising to the top. There was no lacing on the sides of my glass. It had a lemony aroma. The taste was syrupy in my opinion. I did not taste any alcohol at all.

Bottle 500ml.

Clear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is light malty, toasted, moderate citrus, citrus peel, citrus syrup - extract. Flavor is moderate sweet, light citrus acidic and grass bitter with a average to long duration, fresh. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20110130]

Pours clear pale yellow with a white head. Aroma has notes of lime and lemon. Taste is light sweet and sour. Body is light, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.

This works well as a thirst quencher on a muggy Summer day in Chicagoland... BUT, I can’t imagine drinking it except on an occasion such as finishing yardwork on such a day. It looks good, deep yellow with a frothy white head. But it smells like Lemon Pledge, which is okay... except that I don’t normally drink furniture polish. The mouthfeel is that of a watered down soda pop. Tastes like it, too. It was cooling and quenching, but I think a hefeweizen would do the trick just as well and with more taste.
