Bottle. Hazy, pale yellow pour with thin, white head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of lemon pledge and wheat. Nice carbonation, but the lemon flavor is a bit too pronounced, even for this style of beer. Like a lemon Starburst candy. More wheat and even a little a little more sweetness would make this a more balanced shandy.

Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. - Winn Dixie Supermarket - 12 oz bottle - only thing on the shelf I had not rated - figured it would be a decent hotel room companion - boy was I wrong! Murky light golden appearance with a sticky white head that surprisingly leaves decent lacing. Fresh. lemonade-like aroma which is nice and true to form I guess. The flavor is where is goes south. Tastes very similar to lemon pledge or a Mike’s Hard Lemonade gone flat. Reminds me of bad lemonade at a kids stand that you feel forced to drink because you feel sorry for the kids that made it. Not very refreshing at all. Not even sure if this would taste good on a hot summer day at the lake in Wisconsin.

Bottle. Abundant (i.e. way too much) lemonade aroma. Can’t decide if it’s Lemon Pledge or cardboardy Minute Maid mix. Opaque cloudy lemonade-yellow with a creamy, soapy white head. Taste is lightly grainy, carbonated lemonade with a dryish bready finish. Taste disappears fairly quickly, but the aftertaste is straight up cleaning fluid. Wheaten. Lightish medium body with a touch of lemon soda spritz. Liquid candy, and we’re beyond that point, aren’t we?

Aroma of lemonade. Cloudy yellow pour. Tastes just what you would expect, a wheaty lemonade. Really sweet, almost to a fault. Still, a pleasant surprise on a hot day.

Pours a bright, cloudy golden colour with a large head.Aroma was dominated by lemons Not bad, very easy-drinking i can definitely see putting back a couple of these after a long hot day.

Ill give them points for creativity on this one. It’s interesting, the lemonade character is a bit watery though. Its a refreshing brew however, and the flavor isnt bad. Solid for a hot sunny day, but nothing to write home about.

Thanks Immy. 12oz bottle. Pours cloudy yellow in color with white head. Aroma of wheat and light lemonade. Taste is of wheat and watery lemonade, not much there.

Pours a bright, cloudy golden colour with a large head. Very pleasent aroma, even lighter then Lienes Summer Wheat, the lemon that is evident in the aroma adds quite a zesty character. Enjoyable, but one was enough for me.
