Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy


Beer with Natural Lemon Flavor...

So says the Label. I saw this and immediately thought of my first trip to Germany. I was in a beer garden for lunch, and found it remarkable that drinking beer was not seen as a problem in Germany, but a source of pride. I asked them when kids started drinking around there. I was amazed at the answer; around 7-9 they introduce kids to beer mixed with lemonade.

That being said, this beer label brought those memories back at full speed. I decided to give this beer a try, especially since the carton said "Limited Availability".

This is truly a refershing Beer, if you enjoy Lemons... This is a Weiss Beer mixed with Lemonade. You might expect it to be sweet, but not really. More of a puckery sour lemon flavor, but light enough to be refreshing, and not over shadow the beer too much. Do you want a beer both you and your wife will enjoy?... Pick this one up then.

Take a gander at their website too, it's packed with details about their short brewing history which began in 1867.
