Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy


It Seems the Latest Beer fad is beer infused with lemon. Leinenkugel has cooked up another version, a wheat beer brewed with lemonade.

When you pour it is a slightly separated you can see the whitish yellow from the lemonade and the yellowish gold color of the beer, and a nice white head. Let it sit for a few seconds and the carbonation will mix it up to a nice yellow bronze color.

The smell is pretty much wheat and lemonade with a tiny bit of hops.

As far as taste goes this is defiantly better then most other lemon beers I have had, but it falls a little short of other wheat beers and hefenwiezens you can get and add that twist yourself. The Summer Shandy primarily taste of wheat and lemonade, there is not much hops flavor and almost no aftertaste other than lemonade. That said this would make a great beer for a hot summer day.

This is in my opinion a much better beer than the berry wies that Leinenkugel also makes. 3 caps easy
