I do not know if this is technically a fruit beer or a malt beverage akin to Mike’s or Twisted Tea..... Deseptively smooth and Country Time lemonade mixed with seltzer......a wachy description to be saure, but don’t laugh at it, your girl or wife will be asking you for one this summer.

Poured a hazy yellow color with nice white head that dissipated fairly quickly. Aroma was fruity dominated by lemons. Has a very citrusy taste to it. Pretty refreshing on a hot day. Body is on the thin side. Nothing spectacular, but not offensive and easy drinking.

Pours hazy yellow lemonade like color with a smallish white head. Big lemon aroma with a tiny bit of malt. Taste is the same, big lemon flavor with some wheat malt as well. I actually kind of like this but I love lemonade as well.

Pours a light hazy yellow with a medium white head that goes away after a minute or two. Lots of lemon in the aroma! Sweet lemonade-ish flavor with soft mouthfeel. Surprisingly good in spite of the sweetness. Would be great on a hot summer day. Pair this with a thick-cut bone-in pork chop that has been brined for an hour or two in salt, vinegar, brown sugar, dry mustard and peppercorns, then grill outside. Add a cucumber salad and roasted potatoes. Good stuff, Maynard!

Pours a cloudy yellow with a medium size white head. Great lemon aroma. Excellent blend of lemonade and beer. Very sweet (maybe a little too much...) Very refreshing! I love this beer and would drink it everyday if I could!

12oz brown bottle. Pours a murky light yellow with a quarter inch of off-white head. Smells intensely sweet and lemony - almost like fake lemonade. Tastes very citrusy and somewhat pithy, though the flavor isn’t as intense as the aroma is. On the lighter side of medium-bodied with a small amount of carbonation. Not bad, very easy-drinking and refreshing, and i can definitely see putting back a couple of these after a long hot day. That said, it seems less beery and more like an alco-pop, though it beats the heck out of Mike’s or the like.

Nice lemon aroma and taste. Pours a pretty color with minimal head. Goes down smooth!

Great Beer for a hot Texas summer afternoon. Nice lemon aroma, great straw color, medium head that disappears quickly.
