Leinenkugels Summer Shandy

Brewed by Leinenkugel Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Fruit Beer
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin USA

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.

Too lemony for my taste but lived near leinenkugel brewery so had to try. After a few you have to switch to the original or red

Pores a cloudy yellow color with a white head. Aroma is wheat and lemonade. Flavor is the same at that’s about all there is to say about this beer.

Hmmmm... so this one was interesting. The aroma was that of a generic mass produced wheat beer mixed with lemon cleaning solution. Pours yellow and hazy, the head was nice and fizzy. Mostly cleaning solution with some hints of wheat. Too artificial and chemically for me, like a Mikes Hard Lemonade mixed with beer, I guess that is what it is... it is what it is man... Whatever. More natural would have equaled more better with this one.

Decent weiss beir aroma with lemonade undertones. Pours pale and cloudy (unfiltered, I presume?) with a decent head. Drinks very smoothly with a reasonable amount of lemon flavor (not overpowering like Bud Light Lime or Miller Chill). Overall, another good brew from Leinenkugel’s, that would be very satisfying on a hot summer day, although may loose appeal in later months. (Yes, I know they only brew it seasonally, I was just saying)

Pours a cloudy yellow with a decent thick white head. Aroma is light of wheat but mostly dominated by a lemon scent, similar to that of Pledge. Flavor is a light sweet wheat with Pledge lemon. Modest density and carbonation. Overall not a bad beer for a summer drinking session but I could see having to switch to another beer every now and then to take a break from the lemon flavor.

12oz. Pours cloudy yellow with a tan head. Nose is really damn leomandy, so hell it fits that description. Taste is sweet and like beer lemonade. Far better than the % would suggest, not great, but not a terrible American interpretation of the style.

Cloudy off-yellow color with a white head. This beer has a very citrusy aroma. The flavor was of few hops and sweet lemonade. The combination was quite refreshing, as the marketing implies. Best served ice cold with an orange.
