Cloudy blonde with big fluffy white head. The aroma is very limey, gingery. Sweet, a little bit sticky and a lot like lemonade. This isn’t much of a fruit beer so much as a hard lemonade.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and cloudy/murky yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of sugary lemonade with some wheat. Tastes of same; lemons and wheat. Thinner body.

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.

12 oz bottle-pours a white head and cloudy straw color. Aroma is lemon meringue/country tyme lemonade powder/some tart/sharpness. Taste is lemon powder, some wheat/malt. Light body. Too thin. Where’s the beer (or English ale)?

Pours gold/straw with a thin white head. Smells of wheat, lysol. Tastes like lemon candy with some beery hints. Alcopop.

12 oz bottle. Very pale yellow and cloudy with a fluffy white head. The aroma is very lemony and citrusy. The flavour is similar with a distinctive lemon rind character. A fairly wheaty body with a short crisp finish. It’s drinkable and refreshing but not really what I would normally reach for.

"Weiss Beer With Lemonade," it proudly proclaims on the bottle. Looks like a Belgian Wit, a cloudy pale straw body with a tall creamy head. Oops. Head’s gone... after three seconds. Smells like lemonade. Tastes like carbonated lemonade with the seeds ground into it. I’d rather have real lemonade, then a good beer. They’d have to pump more alcohol into this one before I’d have it again.
