2.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Why drink this? Well, maybe you do want to get drunk off of lemonade, which this tastes like very sweet lemonade.

Saw this on the singles shelf at Liquor Barn, figured I’d give it a try since I’m pretty sure I will never buy a 6 pack of it. 12 ounce bottle, best by date of July 25, 2011 printed on the bottle. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a hazy straw gold color with a small white head that went away quickly. Small bit of lacing left on the glass. The brew smells like lemon candy, but not fresh lemons or lemonade. Doesn’t smell bad, but it doesn’t smell good either. However, the taste is not good at all. It tastes like bad watery diet lemon soda with a weird diet cola-like bittersweet aftertaste. Mouthfeel/body is light, it’s somewhat watery and is well carbonated. It’s also a bit coating. I felt like I was drinking a really bad diet cola and not a beer. I can’t imagine this product staying on the market very long, I don’t think even hardcore BMC light beer drinkers would enjoy this very much. I finished my bottle, but I can’t say I liked it.

All that’s really left after trying this are questions; why did they use 64 as the base when it already has no beer flavor? What kind of flavoring did they add because I barely even pick up a lemon taste? With no beer flavor and no lemon flavor what is there? You might as well just drink a flavored carbonated water.
