Very large white head atop an eye-popping yellow pour. Nose reminds me of Lemonheads candy. Nice and tart, but the beer does get lost a bit in the lemon. Excellent, refreshing post-lawnmowing brew - but you’ll want to have more than just one.

Bottle, pours and looks like beer and lemonade mixed together, has lemon, sugar and malt aromas, some lemon rind and lemon drop fragrances in there to that gave this a soda mixed drink feel, taste of wheat and dry lemon with little sweetness, has some tartness at the finish, the flavors were weak, this is dry on the palate at the finish, I found this easy to be a thirst quencher on a Summer day but it is not a substantial drink.

Thanks to genog for this gem of a bonus. Pours a cloudy and murky light urine color with a slight head that dies quick and doesnt lace. Smells of a lemon cough lozenge. Tastes like the powdered vitamin pack Emergen-C in tap water. Tangy, highly carbonated but doesnt hide a thing. Light in the mouth. Tastes between lemonade and theraflu. Had to choke this down but should have poured it out. If you like lemon jolly ranchers in zima, this is your brew.

This is the ultimate beer to have at a nice barbeque in the summer. Very delicious lemonade flavor.

Truly horrible example of a radler-in-a-bottle beer. Like every Leinie’s beer, too sweet and reeks of artifical flavor. How hard is it to use real lemon flavor? Too hard, apparently. I notice other raters have said it was at least refreshing, but it was a struggle to finish even one bottle for me.

Lemon tones balanced fairly well with malt. Couldn’t taste much hop character Very refreshing beer but nothing special. Wouldn’t buy again since it’s kind of girly.

12 oz. bottle. This is a real treat on a warm summer evening. The aroma is lemonade as expected. It is very lemony to taste and is really not that beer like. I found it very refreshing.

A nice golden color. With malt and lemons on the nose. The taste is lemony but balanced with malt. There was a slight bit of tartness in finish but overall a nice clean and easy beer to drink
