Cloudy rich yellow with bright white head. Aroma is fresh lemons and a hint of spice. Very light-bodied and crisp. Flavor is freshly squeezed lemons with clean and tart aftertaste. Light, tangy, easy and refreshing.

Bottled. Hazy copper pour white head. Fruity aroam (Whcih almost always turns me off). Taste was definetly a lemon wheat taste that sits thin in your mouth. Not a giant fan.

I knew there would be lots of hate on here for this one. From the bottle it taste like an artificial lemon and bud light. However, on tap, its kind of strangely creamy. I can’t lie, on a hot summer night, after a double header of softball, it was actually awesome.

Medium body and yellow in color. A balanced lemonade flavor. Definitely, beer flavored and not a malt. Sweet but not too sweet

Shared pint draft at Mulligan’s in Cincinnati. Pours cloudy, dull yellow-gold with 1/2" foamy white head. The aroma is overwhelmingly sweet and citrusy, lemonade, wheat, and sugar. The flavor is more of the same: lemonade, other citrus and fruit, wheat, honey, and brown sugar. But one odd thing hits me in both the nose and the flavor of this: Fruity Pebbles. As soon as I smelled and tasted this, I could think of almost nothing other than eating Fruity Pebbles as a kid; the aroma in particular is spot-on. Light-medium body, smooth, just a bit tart, clean finish. I’d be surprised if many casual beer drinkers didn’t like one of these in the summer but it’s sweet and cloying for more experienced drinkers.

Have had from 12oz bottle and on tap. You know, this really isn’t as bad as you might expect. Odd, blatantly lemonade flavored, but easy drinking and tasty.
