Bottle from the grocery store. Normally I wouldnt buy something like this but after reading about it in the paper and remembering how much I liked festina peche, I was hoping this to be similar. It is, somewhat, just not peach flavored. Pours out a yellow color with a white head, looking similar to a glass full of urine. Not a bad thing, really, if you are into that kind of thing. Smell is fruity and has a pretty big hint of lemon. Taste is very interesting, with a nice sour lemon kick. A definate easy to drink beer, and I am not complaining about it. Good enough especially in the summer.

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.
