Leinenkugels Summer Shandy

Tastes a bit like pine sol. Pours a cloudy color. Has a very good aroma. Not anything i’d pick up at the store again.

Pours a pale cloudy yellow with a frothy white head leaves very nice lacing for a fruit beer, actually any beer. Aroma of summertime lemonade, sweet and tangy. Lemon flavor throughout, hint of wheat underneath, all slightly watered down. Missing the tangy sweet tartness of true lemonade and the aroma. Nice even carbonation. Quite refreshing, reminds a little of lemon sherbet.

Blehhh. It’s all syrup and carbonation. Fizzy syrup. Go ahead and just drink a good ginger ale or lemonade and you’ll do much better than this.

Overall Impression: I was rating the Saranac version of the "beer style," and thought I should throw my review of this one up as well since it’s basically the same. If you’ve had one "Shandy" you’ve had them all, it tastes like a little beer and a little lemonade. These can be semi-refreshing, but it isn’t beer.

Sampled at the summer beer tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 5/29/09. Cloudy yellow pour with a big white head. Smells like lemonade; tastes like lemonade and lager yeast. Refreshing summer beverage, but not beer. Can we enter Twisted Tea ratings on RB now too? Once again, tasty and refreshing but not beer.

Sometimes on a hot summer day you get really thirsty. Should I have a nice cold beer or a glass of iced tea or lemonade? This beer answers that question. Cloudy pour typical Weiss beer coloring. Aroma of lemonade. tastes more of lemonade than beer but it is very refreshing. Serve it ice cold!

Shandy..more like Shatty, or Shitty, which ever. Just an unpleasant, out of balance beer. No no no.

Who waved a beer over this lemonade? Poured gold with a white head. Pretty much smells like a lemonade somewhere near a spilled beer. Tastes fine, if you like lemonade, but won’t satisfy the craving for beer. A great beer for anyone who doesn’t like beer.
