Commercial Description:
A Shandy is a low alcohol European drink made with lemonade and ale. It's light, refreshing and a great thirst quencher. Traverse Brewing Company's Shandy, Gold Medal Winner at Frankenmuths "World Beer Expo" 1999, is Micro-Brewed for exceptional quality and flavor.

Not bad, but I don’t know if I would buy it. I’d be better off buying a packet of Kool-Aid. It’s a hell of a lot cheaper.

Hazy light yellowish body, thin off-white head. The aroma and flavor are essentially that of lemonade, the kind one makes using lemon concentrate (purchased in those little yellow plastic "lemons" at the grocery store), sugar, and several ounces of water. The only hint of beer is a slightly bitter aftertaste. The finish becomes cloying after awhile. If this wasn’t classified as beer I’d enjoy it more, but there is little in the world of beerdom to remark on here.

Pale gold like a belgian white. No head. Smells like a hard lemonade. Tastes like Mikes Hard Lemonade except not as sour. A little bit like lemon peel too. If you make a shandy with regular beer it tastes a heck of a lot better than this. This stuff really sucks. I have to pour out the rest of this. This is one of the worst beers I have ever had in my life. I give it a 2 in flavor simply because yes it does have some flavor even if it is horrible horrible stuff. Even my wife thinks this stuff really sucks.

An assault on the senses: cloying, cheap, lemon drop pop. Ugh.
