Leinenkugels Summer Shandy

Brewed by Leinenkugel Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Fruit Beer
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin USA

Bottle. Pours gold with thin crisp head. Smells wheaty with lemony citrus hints. Tasted like lemonade as the bottle suggests, and there is some wheat to be detected, but faintly.It is a good beer on a hot day.

It’s a shame this gets pretty bad reviews. It’s a pretty good shandy. It pours a cloudy yellow with a white head and a good amount of carbonation. The smell is of lemonade, as it should be. Taste is lemony, similar to Orangina. This is fun to drink, low in alcohol and good for a hot summer’s day.

Since I did the Apple Spice, I am going to rate this too. I figure this deserves to be retired soon as well. Another Leinie’s beer I don’t see myself ever drinking again. Drank on a very enjoyable May night back in college while watching the Wonder Years. I’d have to say, this was a complete waste of a beer bottle. Pours a very pale, lemonade-ish hue with white head that dies completely. No lacing. Aromas are of mellow lemony artificial sweetness. Taste is bland, lighter lemony taste mixed with a touch of carbonation. Not as sweet as earlier anticipated. No cloying, just blank of any defining characteristics. Lighter alco-pop for those who can’t handle the cloying sweetness. Not fit to be called a beer, but palatable.

a very diffrent brew, but very full flavor of lemons, lite and crisp would b a good way to say it. exelent on a hot summer day

This beer literally tasted like straight up lemonade. On the bottle it says, ’’beer with natural lemonade flavor’’ but its really more like lemonade with a natural beer flavor.

I’ve been saving this to have after a hockey game and tonight was the night. New something unusual was up when I poured this into the glass. Very cloudy, rather pale but not the usual pale, a pale fluorescent yellow. Thick head. Very lemony aroma and flavor. Also a bit yeasty. Refreshing, decent and original.

Beautiful cloudy pour, thick head and lacing. High lemony scent and lemon is the dominant flavor. Nicely carbed. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Lemonade.

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)?
