the aroma is very lemony. the colour is solid for a wheat beer; looks great. the head pours tall for a summer brew, and the finish is not what one might expect. i i tend to like Leiney’s but this one made me think some one topped my Hoegarden with the Minute maid.

12oz bottle. Poured a hazy pale yellow with a fluffy white head. Very strong lemony citrus aroma. Has a milder lemon flavor with wheat, light malt and a slight hop bitterness towards the finish. A light well carbonated body that ends dry.

Draft: Poured a hazy dark yellow with an aroma of lemons and wheat. The flavor was SUPER lemons with a hint of wheat. Overall, way too sweet and lemony for me.

Bottle pours cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is lemon and wheat. Flavor is grass and lemon. One is all I think I could drink.

12 oz bottle. Smells like wheaty lemonade. Pale, pale yellow in appearance with a medium-sized head, surprisingly good lacing. The head retains itself throughout. Even balance between the beer and the lemonade. What a strange beer. I’ve never had a shandy before and had never even heard of one til Leinenkugel’s came out with this. I guess it’s a more well-known style in Europe. I often give high marks to brewers who try different things and experiment--if they succeed and the beer in question is tasty that is. I think this beer succeeds. I’m drinking it in the fall, but I can imagine it tastes even better after being out in the hot summer sun.

12 oz bottle- Aroma has a nice strong citrus lemonade smell, nice cloudy unfiltered look. Tastes of lemon, but lacks depth. A perfect summer beer especially after a hard days work.

Tastes like lemonade... too much like lemonade... I don’t really like this. Too synthetic tasting and chemically... not a fan whatsoever.

Smells like lemons, looks like lemons, tastes like lemons - I like lemons. Sadly, I was looking for a beer.
