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.

12 ounce bottle - $1.49 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours out a clouded, dull yellow body with a smallish, fizzy, white head. Smell: Perhaps there may be some sweetish malt hints in there, but the nose is substantially made up of sharp scent of Lemon Pledge. Taste: Light pale and soft wheat malts with a touch of honeyish sweetness with the vaudeville-like lemonade flavoring jumping in at a moments notice. Slightly acidic. Sorely lacking in hop character or bitterness. Finishes crisp and lemony with a thin, sweetish background of malted wheat. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-plus carbonation. Drinkability: While I’m not opposed to the idea of beer blended with lemonade, this just has a repellent artificial quality to it. Less Summer Shandy and more of a Summer Shitty. Wait, am I allowed to say that?

Bottle Pours a hazy straw color with a decent white head. Not much lacing and the head leaves quickly. Aroma is of lemonade and wheat. The carbonation is okay. Flavor is like a Mikes Hard Lemonade. This is refreshing but borders on not being beer. Has a light bdy. The finish is sweet but okay. A very refreshing beer for picinics.

Pours a nice hazy yellow gold with thick white head, minimal lacing. Aroma decently pleasant of lemon and wheat, but not a lot else. Flavor is hugely disappointing. It literally tastes like an ok wheat beer mixed with some Country Time lemonade. Only reason I drank this was because my other options were Bud, Bud Light, and Miller Lite. That will likely be the only time I have it again. On a side note, my wife liked it! Yes, that does say a lot about her tastes in beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours out light wheat yellow with a thin white head. Smells like lemon and wheat, nothing else. The taste is light wheat, lemon and mostly just tastes like froot loops. This is an interesting beer for sure, not one I need to drink again but it had its moment in the sun.

Ha ha. Why is this a beer. Tastes like a lemon smirnoff ice. Pours a yellow color with a medium sized creamy off white head. Notes of lemon drops, grains, wheat, and some brown sugar. I mean.... its basically dominated by lemons.

Plastic cup: Incubus concert: the music made the beer better, no question. The category is pretty loosely defined so it;s up to preference on this one. Smells like lemonade, tastes like lemonade... with carbonation and some wheat. At first its very refreshing, however as it begins to warm it degrades quickly... the taste itself becomes obnoxious... the lemon intention becomes its own worst enemy.

HUGELY surprised by the low ratings for this. Absolutely refreshing on a hot summer day, without the need to look like a woman and throw a lime or orange into your beer.
