Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy

Name – Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy
Country – United States
Type – Fruit Beer

Appearance – Pours ultra murky pale yellow with a big fluffy white head.

Smell – Well you definitely get lemon.  It actually smell a lot like the lemonade powder you might get at a store to make lemonade.  There is a hint of wheat as well in there.

Taste – Sweet lemonade flavor up front and a that’s really it.

I saw this on the shelves all summer and finally bit on it.  I figured I’d give this beer with lemonade in it a chance.  For what it is the beer isn’t bad.  It is exactly what it says and I can see this being ultra refreshing after working outside or being out in the sun all day.  I know a lot people will poo poo on it and I don’t think it is the best beer by any reach but I think it is straight forward in what it was suppose to be and there is nothing wrong with that.  If you haven’t had it yet I would say just give it a try as the summer is winding down.

Overall Grade – C+

    I just had the one that Saranac makes as well as the Stiegl Radler which uses lemon soda instead of lemonade – same idea I guess. On both counts, I’d agree with what you said. Interesting, refreshing, and worth trying just to try it.
