Has a weak lambic aroma with a spicy-minty lemon drop flavor superimposed over it. Herbal, like a cough drop. Dull amber clear with thin lacing white head. Watery body with light-medium carbonation. Starts very acidic and lemony, with some sweetness to it that reminds me of eating a lemon meringue or key-lime pie. Still has some herbal notes and sourness in the finish, with a grainy sweet lemon after. Overall, gives me some heartburn from the acidity. Refreshing, but not that appealing.

Clear amber body, with a faintly pinkish shine troughout. Off-white head which disappears instantly. Very strong lemon aroma (as the name made me expect :)) The flavour is like lemon juice with some gueuze added. The flavour is dominated by the lemon aromas (and therefore sour). Maybe these kind of beers will become more common sense in the future. And maybe I expect a stereotype flavour, but I just don’t like this one/this kind of beer.

Strange light amber color, brown hue. Very strange aroma of lemon, grapefruit and maybe more… Sweet flavor, with lemon juice. Soft drink, too artificial.

Bottled. Bronze colour. Lemon juice mixed with sugar. Fruity. Some lambicish notes remain, but it’s bold and soda-like. Acidic finish.

(Bottle) Sampled with Argo0. Pours a slight, white head that quickly dissipated. No carbonation. Deep amber body. Much tiny sediment. Nose fo medicial lemon and ginger ale. Tart ginger ale flavour with lemon. Absolutely horrific!

Small white head atop clear golden/orange body. Plenty of sediment at the end. Aroma is tart, lemon, some herbal/ginger. Taste is sweet (sugar), lemon. Think of candy more than beer. Medium sticky sweet.

acidic, sweet. good sniffin'. rather bubbly. i tasted lots of..... apples. good, nonetheless. lemon+alcohol usually resembles a cleaning product, but this didn't.

Aroma of champagne and yeast. looks like a golden pilsner with sediment floating in it. Flavors of sugar, yeast, and lemon. Mildly sour. I was surprised by how good this is. Better than the raspberry.
