Oakes (8072), gone rambling, Vietnam Jul 2, 2008 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. hopdog (5535), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 19, 2007 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. hopscotch (5441), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Apr 10, 2008 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. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Sep 23, 2008 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)?
Cletus (5002), Connecticut, USA Aug 13, 2008 Pours gold/straw with a thin white head. Smells of wheat, lysol. Tastes like lemon candy with some beery hints. Alcopop. JoeMcPhee (4911), Jackson Heights, New York, USA May 31, 2008 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. Cornfield (4892), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Jun 1, 2007 "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.
