Style: Fruit Beer

Bottle. Hazy yellow body, small white head, lemony nose. Lemonade with some beer off-flavors. Not good.

12 oz. brown bottle. Slightly cloudy pale yellow with a small white head. Smells like the old Blossom Time lemonade we used to get from the grocery store in a gallon jug. Tastes like the old Blossom Time lemonade we used to get from the grocery store in a gallon jug. Really good when you feel like a lemmonade. There is beer in it too...I think.

A good beer on a hot day. The lemony flavor can see overpowering, but that’s what you expect in a summer beer that’s billed as being made with lemons, right? Good for what it is.

The aroma is lemony with some corn malt and nothing else. The appearance is milky gold with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma with a lemon pine sol quality, ew! The palate is kind of thick for the style. I wanted to like it, it smells clean and fresh, but it didn’t taste right.

I fully expected to hate this, but I didn’t. I does smell lemony, as you would expect, but not fresh lemons. not artificial lemon either. It smells more like that lemon juice that comes in a little plastic lemon shaped dispenser. Anyway, the flavor is similiar - and surprisingly subtle. In fact, if anything, this ber wasn’t lemony enough. But it was refreshing and not cloying, and enjoyable enough to consider buying again.

12 oz bottle. Very pale yellow and cloudy with a fluffy white head. The aroma is very lemony and citrusy. The flavour is similar with a distinctive lemon rind character. A fairly wheaty body with a short crisp finish. It’s drinkable and refreshing but not really what I would normally reach for.

If you like lemons and you like beer then you should try lemon flavored beer like this original favorite of lemon lovers everywhere.

Very cloudy pale yellow body with a medium frothy white head. Huge sweet lemonade aroma. Light lemonade flavor, but fairly dull. I’m largely missing the beer in this. Medium light body with moderate carbonation. I give this a few extra points because I’m fairly partial to lemonade, but it’s certainly lacking much of the beer characteristics.
