6pack 12oz bottle. Pours hazy.. looks impressive for what i thought would be similar to miller chill. Smells like lemonade powder mix (Country Tyme or Crystal Light). Somewhat sour and generously lemonady. Ripe thin bodied mouth. Unusual brew, probably not the best session beer for 2 on a hot day could be ideal.

Bottle from the grocery store. Normally I wouldnt buy something like this but after reading about it in the paper and remembering how much I liked festina peche, I was hoping this to be similar. It is, somewhat, just not peach flavored. Pours out a yellow color with a white head, looking similar to a glass full of urine. Not a bad thing, really, if you are into that kind of thing. Smell is fruity and has a pretty big hint of lemon. Taste is very interesting, with a nice sour lemon kick. A definate easy to drink beer, and I am not complaining about it. Good enough especially in the summer.

Poured a hazy yellow color with a thin white head. Aroma of lemon with slight malt undertone. Light on the plate with the lemon character being dominant. Known in Germany as a radlermass or alsterwasser, this is a bit too sweet to be a session beverage but, one or two on a hot day would be refreshing.

I may be new to rating beers, and probably havent had that many but i thought this beer was delicious. Tasted lemony and really refreshing, i had it in a 12 ounce bottle.

Looks like lemonade, tastes terrible. Maybe just because I wasn’t expecting it. Very citrusy like it’s supposed to be. Sorry, couldn’t do it. I had to rate this one on one sip, the rest was a DRAIN POUR.

Poured into pint glass. Cloudy appearance. Nice head which settles slowly. Smells strongly of citrus, lemons. Very malty, mellow with smooth aftertaste. Would be much better if it were more crisp.

Drank from a bottle. Has a strong lemon aroma and taste. Not a very exciting beer. I enjoyed it and thought the lemon flavor was natural. Easy to drink . A good hot day summertime beer.
