Bottle... Cloudy straw-colored brew with a small, frothy, white head. The aroma is all about cereal grains and lemon oil. Light-bodied, but creamy with lively carbonation. Well-balanced, but thin and fairly bland. Fortunately, not nearly as sweet as Stiegl Gaudi-Radler Zitrone. Short, crisp, refreshing finish.

From a bottle looked like lemonade, with a little head. Smell and flavor of lemons with a quick finish. Very drinkable.

Too much lemon and too little body. Bitter? No. Sweet? No. Beer? Not Really. Mow your lawn and pound one.

12 oz bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL. Pours a light gold with a bit of cloudiness. Aroma is all lemonade and a touch of grains. Taste is lemonade and ale, with a touch of hops finish. Not bad, but nothing special.

This beer is a cloudy amber rather like a good wheat beer. Aroma is strongly lemony and wheaty, more the former. Flavor is typical of a wheat beer but with a much stronger citrus component, suggesting a blend of beer and lemonade, i.e., shandy. A smooth, refreshing drink for a warm sunny day - or to bring sunshine into a dreary day.

Cloudy light-yellow pour with a thin white head. Aroma is of lemonheads candy. Strong lemon flavor with a bit of lime. Thin body and not much carbonation. I like lemonade so it’s not a total loss but it gets almost sickening when warmed. I really like their sunset wheat but this is pretty marginal.

Bottle: Pours a very hazy thick opaque yellow color, thin head and no lacing. The nose is lemony like a 7up with some light honey and hop. Soda like flavor with a thick body and thin carbonation. The finish is acidic. Either needs more beer or more lemonade, it’s straddling the fence of boring on both accounts. Hmm.

12 ounce bottle. I picked up a six pack of this to drink on a Friday night. I was not in the mood for a typical beer, so I thought I would give this a shot. I almost feel bad rating this one as a beer... reminded me of a strange carbonated lemonade-soda. I didn’t even bother pouring this one into a glass. Tasted like carbonated lemonade with a slight taste of beer. It was refreshing and definitely different. It is sessionable if you do not like "real" beer...
