Ya can’t beat this one on a hot summer day. No need to doctor it up because it already has the lemon added. Much more convenient than trying to fit the lime into a bottle of corona after you’ve had a few!

Pours a hazy straw, reminiscent of a hefe. The head is soda-fizzy, and diminishes to almost nothing. The lemon seems natural enough to the nose, and intermittent whiffs of wheat wax and wane. Tastes like a weaker American Wheat, with dry, sour lemonade mix (certainly not cloyingly sweet) predominating the front and mid-palates. Good lawnmower brew, for sure, as it cleanses the palate, leaving a tiny citric bitter that reminds you it’s been there. Not very complex, as the mouthfeel is somewhat thin and crisply carbonated. This doesn’t "try" nearly as hard as some other Miller, oops, "Leinenkugel" attempts on the hybrid fruit-weiss style. Not terrible, honestly. Just need to be in the right setting and mood for it, I guess.

Oh the humanity. This looked nice but looks can be deceiving. Bad lemon sour taste that lingers and won’t go away. I was still tasting it an hour after pouring the rest of it down the drain

Hazy light yellow color. Smells like beer and lemmons. Very refreshing taste. Nice mix of bber and lemonade, but not overly strong on the beer flavor, the lemon flavor kind of mellows it. Great beer for a hot summer day. Little aftertaste. I can see myself drinking a lot of this beer this summer.

poured a light yellow color, the lemon flavor stood out, was refreshing as long as it was cold, not so good as it warmed up. left a nice lacing in the glass, mellow taste. oh to be 12 and sitting on gramma porch on a hot summers day sipping lemonade. thats what this beer reminds me of..

Pours with a medium sized, rocky white head covering a cloudy, lemonade covered body. Aroma is of really sugary lemondade. Taste is Miller and watery lemonade. Refreshing but hardly a beer. Light-ish carbonation.

This is a good summer beer. Has a very rich lemon taste to it, smells like country time lemonade powder which brought back some childhood memories (not the supressed ones) of riding bikes around the block and then settling down in the back yard with friends drinking lemonade...only now t has alcohol in it. Not an everyday beer, this is definitely something you need to b in the mood for. Good for a hot lazy sumer day just hanging around the house with nothing particular to do. A good relaxing beer.

Nice gold hazy wheat beer that was messed up with way too much lemonade. Got this in a variety pack containing three bottles of this. I choked down one but plan to use the other two as a fish marinade. Hate to just pour it down the sink.
