This is difficult to rate as a beer, since it much more resembled a non-alcoholic mixture of Ginger-Ale and lemonade. Very pale in color, with little lacing or head and a hint of lemon in the nose. Taste was lemony soda pop. Not sure who this beer would appeal to, as even the women at our table thought it tasted too cheesy. Before I drink this again, I’ll have a straight lemonade or real beer, not this ’tweener.

Bottle.
Pours an average cloudy yellow with a lively body and an aroma of artificially sweetened lemonade soda. Flavor is watered down lemonade. Average mouthfeel. Smells good, but the taste disappoints.

I liked the smell, and the initial sip but right after that all I could taste was lemon cleaner. The after taste was like mildem and lemon pledge. I will say my brother and law liked it a lot although he is not into beer and prefers coolers

Strong lemonade flavor and aroma with some wheat undertones. It’s refreshing and light, and not overly complex, but I don’t think it was intended to be.

Lemondade flaver wheat beer. What more can I say. Easy to drink and has a light smooth finish. An OK summer beer if your in the mood for it.

Bottle 355 ml
Appearance: Thick , cloudy , hazy appearance with light top.
Nose: Aroma of blend of 7up and straight American pale lager with drop of green lime.
Flavor/Palate : highly carbonated light bodied thing. Off soda flavour with slight malty finishing. I see what Leinenkugels was trying to attempt but did not work out it this case. Somewhat fruity soda character did not went well with beer element. Some euro radlers do better job at this.

Hmmmm... Nice color, quarter inch head, plenty of carbonation. Aroma of lemonade.. and beer - wheat. Pleasant. Plenty drinkable. Palate is a bit thin, but I would expect that. It’s really not bad, if you like lemonade. And I do.

I know I shouldn’t like this as much as I did, but it was pretty damn good. Extremely refreshing on a hot summer day - very flavorful. Not for purists, though! (what’s next - Bud Light Lime?, oh nevermind)
