12 oz bottle. Murky yellow with a white head. Smells like powdered lemonade, Minute Maid maybe? Nearly devoid of flavor - fizzy, watery lemonade. This blows goats for wooden nickels.

not a bad little leine. The pour looked like real lemonade, a fuzzy light yellow. The aroma was full of lemon and sweetness. I dont know what these ratings are so terrible. It does exactly what it says, its a lemonade beer. Its flavor has a strong hint of lemon and the aftertaste is that of actual lemonade. A nice summer beer that is easy to drink. I think people should rate more on weather a beer is supposed to do in relation to its style and its promises, not its overall greatness in a general world of beer. This is a moderately good fruit beer, and thats how it should be compared in the beer world. It just isn’t right to try and compare it to a stout lets say. Its like comparing apples and oranges as the saying so goes.

I do believe they mixed Country Time lemonade with regular Leinenkugels. Why? Why must you retire the Autumn Beer and then give us this travesty? Please start making your better beers (Big Eddy) available more than this.

Explorer pack from BevMo. Hazy light yellow in color. Lemonade aroma with a light hint of beer. Sweet lemonade flavor up front. Grainy beer flavor finish. Somewhat refreshing.

pours cloudy(looks like lemonade) dissipating off white head smells like lemon drops I was prepared to publicly flog this beer but since it cant really be considered a fruit beer and resembles a mikes hard lemonade I will refrain. Refreshing, not as sweet as it smells, but nonetheless bland and totally lacking depth

this is a girls beer. tasted like lemonade, not beer. It was so lemony that I cringed - wasn’t expecting a lemon flavor. barely a beer.

Excellent seasonal beer for the summer and was very dissapointed when it went away for the year. Sweet, but not sweet enough to give you gut-rot

Ummmm...not even going to give this real commentary! Subdued lemonade, mixed in with a flavorless wheat beer. Not a good beer but come summertime, I may just drop in a lemon wedge and call this hard lemonade!
