Leinenkugels Summer Shandy

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

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)?

The lemony smell and taste make this a decent choice for a Summer-time beer. The citrus taste overpowers the hops, but it wasn’t terrible.

I was invited to a gathering at a bar with no good beer, so I tried this one. Like I said - no good beer. Lot’s of lemon, very little in the way of malt or hops. Enough said.

Bottle. This was almost lemonade. I’ve had some other shandy beers, and this wasn’t similar to any of them. Lemon aroma and flavor.

This is difficult to rate as a beer, since it much more resembled a non-alcoholic mixture of Ginger-Ale and lemonade. Very pale in color, with little lacing or head and a hint of lemon in the nose. Taste was lemony soda pop. Not sure who this beer would appeal to, as even the women at our table thought it tasted too cheesy. Before I drink this again, I’ll have a straight lemonade or real beer, not this ’tweener.

Bottle.
Pours an average cloudy yellow with a lively body and an aroma of artificially sweetened lemonade soda. Flavor is watered down lemonade. Average mouthfeel. Smells good, but the taste disappoints.

I liked the smell, and the initial sip but right after that all I could taste was lemon cleaner. The after taste was like mildem and lemon pledge. I will say my brother and law liked it a lot although he is not into beer and prefers coolers
