Beershine (2678), Hue, Vietnam Aug 4, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy hazy pale yellow. Aroma of lemonade, ginger ale, lemon pie, key lime pie plus its crust. Refreshing and inviting. Soda-like entry. Fizzy but soft mouthfeel. Finishes dry. Some rind bitternes makes it more mature than expected. Not bad. KnN (712), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Aug 3, 2008 Usually I drink this out of a bottle, but when I poured it into a glass, man it looked like hell. Dirty dishwater all the way. The flavor though is pure summer. Lemonade and beer. Great combo, although quite a bit more lemonade than beer.. My absolute go-to for a lawnmower beer. blipp (1631), Newark, New Jersey, USA Aug 3, 2008 This is, in fact, bottled lemonade. And I like lemonade. Pours unclear yellow with a white head, and has a light body. When I was little we had packets of Country Time lemonade mix. I would bet my life that they use that mix to make this beer... my taste buds do not lie. Gurst (338), Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Aug 1, 2008 Lemony smell, but not in that pine-sol (with lemon) way. The good way, like a lemony dessert. Dry lemonade flavor, with some spicy wheat to it. Good, drinkable, and refreshing. thehurt01 (201), Denver, Colorado, USA Jul 31, 2008 12 oz bottle. The beer pours a milkey yellow with a fizzy head. The smell is a tart lemon with hints of beer and wheat. The taste is very refeshing with a cirtus front and clean dry finish. The carbonation is perfect with a lmild lemon after taste. smerkinb (5), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA does not count Jul 30, 2008 It was a steamy hot day and I had been looking forward to this refreshing beer. Pale lemon color with a 1.5" head making a quick appearance. Smell immediately transported me to a fresh cut lawn with a lemonade in hand. So did the taste. I almost winced. Checked the bottle to be sure it was a beer and not a Smirnoff. Sickeningly sweet, my stomach hurt before I finished it. Might be tempted to substitute this for Minute Maid next time, but not for a summer wheat beer. bluemooner (229), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Jul 28, 2008 Updated: Mar 29, 2009Pours a cloudy yellow color with small head. Tastes basically like lemonade with some grains. A decent shandy though it is not my favorite style. punkeedo (465), San Antonio, Texas, USA Jul 27, 2008 I must admit that my rating is unfair. I was not aware of the concept of a "shandy" when I drank this beer. I simply thought, "This tastes like beer watered down with lemonade." I clearly will need to try it again for a more fair rating.
