Leinenkugels Summer Shandy

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

Cloudy light-yellow pour with a thin white head. Aroma is of lemonheads candy. Strong lemon flavor with a bit of lime. Thin body and not much carbonation. I like lemonade so it’s not a total loss but it gets almost sickening when warmed. I really like their sunset wheat but this is pretty marginal.

Bottle: Pours a very hazy thick opaque yellow color, thin head and no lacing. The nose is lemony like a 7up with some light honey and hop. Soda like flavor with a thick body and thin carbonation. The finish is acidic. Either needs more beer or more lemonade, it’s straddling the fence of boring on both accounts. Hmm.

12 ounce bottle. I picked up a six pack of this to drink on a Friday night. I was not in the mood for a typical beer, so I thought I would give this a shot. I almost feel bad rating this one as a beer... reminded me of a strange carbonated lemonade-soda. I didn’t even bother pouring this one into a glass. Tasted like carbonated lemonade with a slight taste of beer. It was refreshing and definitely different. It is sessionable if you do not like "real" beer...

Perfect for your 14 year old son or daughter to get their first drunk on or that annoying girlfriend that hates real beer. Very heavy lemon-aide taste. Refreshing pounder "beer" on a hot day but WAY to much corn syrup. I major hang over waiting to happen!!!

12 oz bottle. Murky yellow with a white head. Smells like powdered lemonade, Minute Maid maybe? Nearly devoid of flavor - fizzy, watery lemonade. This blows goats for wooden nickels.

not a bad little leine. The pour looked like real lemonade, a fuzzy light yellow. The aroma was full of lemon and sweetness. I dont know what these ratings are so terrible. It does exactly what it says, its a lemonade beer. Its flavor has a strong hint of lemon and the aftertaste is that of actual lemonade. A nice summer beer that is easy to drink. I think people should rate more on weather a beer is supposed to do in relation to its style and its promises, not its overall greatness in a general world of beer. This is a moderately good fruit beer, and thats how it should be compared in the beer world. It just isn’t right to try and compare it to a stout lets say. Its like comparing apples and oranges as the saying so goes.

I do believe they mixed Country Time lemonade with regular Leinenkugels. Why? Why must you retire the Autumn Beer and then give us this travesty? Please start making your better beers (Big Eddy) available more than this.

Explorer pack from BevMo. Hazy light yellow in color. Lemonade aroma with a light hint of beer. Sweet lemonade flavor up front. Grainy beer flavor finish. Somewhat refreshing.
