12 oz bottle. Poured a pale yellowish color, slight white head. Aroma was astringent lemon. Flavor was similar, little hops, malt, or yeast flavors, mostly just a lemon candy flavor. Palate was very fizzy. If you don’t like beer, drink this instead, I guess.

Yellow color with a fizzy light white head. Smell is like lemon juice, furniture polish, and sweetness. Taste is lemonade like. Sweet. A little dry.

20080629 12oz bottle Pale yellow color with sturdy, fine white head that lasts. Aroma is lemonade, plain and simple, and not great lemonade, more like the instant kind. I don’t smell any beer. Tastes like lemonade, too. Fizzy eff, overly and abrasively so, and a relatively dry finish. This is silly and clearly intended for the malternative crowd. Not offensive, but not good. They’re stretching to call this beer with lemonade flavor as there is nothing beyond the appearance to make me think it’s a beer at all.

Im giving this a moderately good review for personal reasons. Is it a well crafted complex beer...NO. Is it a beer a beer "geek" would like....NO. But it is one the most refreshing. thirst quenching, poundable beers I’ve had. Hot summer evening on the porch after your burger drink. Aroma-Lemonade/pledge concentrate. Flavor Lemons/lemonade. Body who knows? Overall- I’ll have another!

I would hardly even consider this a "beer", but a lot closer to a hard lemonade. A very watered down, fizzy hard lemonade. Not offensive, just very...eh. Maybe this one works outside on a hot day, but I don’t think I’ll buy this one again.

I really did not care for this beer at all. I would not but this one again unless it is in a combo pack!
