Jun 8, 2009 Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. Pours a somewhat cloudy pale yellow with a white head. Aromas of lemons and lemonade dominate, with no notes of either malt or hops, something of a disappointment, but given the likely base beer of American Blonde all or light lager.
On the palate, this was quite refreshing on a warm early summer day. Sweetened lemonade flavors greet the palate up front, and really don’t dissapate until the very end. The big dig on this beer is that there is little else. There isn’t really any sort of complexity, leading to a very drinkable, somewhat refreshing, and ultimately one-dimentional beer. Not terrible; but below average for a "craft brewer," of which Leinenkugel is a debatable member.

Jun 2, 2009 Probably the least offensive Leine’s that I’ve had. Not really much to say that the description hasn’t already... Beer and lemonade. Strange, but surprisingly drinkable.

May 30, 2009 Hazy banana color with a fluffy, 2" thick head. Aroma is a rich wheatiness with a refreshing lemony scent that is redolent of sun and sandy beaches. Wheat is overpowered by the strong lemon flavor with a cloying lemon-sugar streak that becomes nearly sickening toward the end of the glass. Otherwise, this is not horrible, just unusual and unbalancedly sugary sweet. Sweet-sour lemon finish with a slight tartness.

May 25, 2009 I really did not like this at all. Made it maybe 2 sips. The combination of lager and lemonade was pretty nasty. Some combinations just were not meant to be. I’m not a fan of wheat beers to begin with. It looked nice in the glass when poured and smelled mildly interesting but the taste was horrid.

May 25, 2009 12 oz bottle, drank from the bottle so not sure of color. Aroma is mostly lemonade, with some wheat. Taste is tart lemonade, that’s pretty much mostly what is going on. Crisp smooth mouthfeel. Quenching, overall OK.

May 25, 2009 Color is a hazy yellow with good carbonation and small white head. Aroma is like a lemon meringue pie. Taste like a glass of lemonade. Starting with a light body it goes down with a fizzy feel. Finish is sweet with a big lemonade taste. After taste is clean with the lemon turning a little sour. This is a hard lemonade not a beer. Overall its a nice little thing to drink but has no beer character at all.
