Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a decent white head. Aroma is mostly of lemon. Taste is of lemon, kind of tart. Is really easy to drink, goes down smooth and is quite refreshing. Plus it is fairly inexpensive. Would be awesome to have on a really hot day.

Bottle, good lemon smell. Lemon taste but that’s about it. Very refreshing and easy to drink but taste too much like lemonade for a beer. Would not buy again

Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy was better then the rest of the beer in the variety pack I bought but it still sucked.

Yay! How cute! A lemonade beer. I’m a fan. Ok, this is not like those Mike’s Hard alternamalt thingies... this is a nice, fizzy fruit beer that I want to take picnicking with the girlfriend I don’t have. Smells a little bit like bathroom cleaner. Yumz!!@#%%#*

Pours a five finger white head that fades quickly to ring and leaves some lace. Murky pale amber color. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied. Lemonade nose. Flavor is like slightly fizzy, sweet lemonade with vague hints of hops way in the background not at all like an English shandy. $1.50 for a 12oz bottle from Capitol Convenience Concord, NH.

This pours looking like the half-and-half... the lemonade and ice tea kind. There is a thick white foamy head that disappears quickly. The aroma smells very lemony. It smells like canned lemonade concentrate. The flavor is very weak and it tastes like watered-down lemonade mixed with beer. The body is very light, which I guess is good for a summer beer. It is kind of sweet, but very bland at the same time. Whatever it is trying to be, it needs more of something one way or another.

Smells nice and lemony. Flavor is more like lemon peel than anything to me. I like several of Leinie’s beers but I’ll have to pass on this one in the future.

Smells good, Light bodied and tastes like the top of a Crona when a lemon is jameed into it. Not very impressive
