I had this with some friends in a cafe in Jerusalem. I had never heard of it, so I gave it a shot. It turned out to be like no other beer I have ever had, and not in a good way.
Poured fairly carbonated, a white 2 1/2 finger head that lingered down to nothing. The beer itself was as close to clear as I have ever seen a beer. A very faint off-yellow color was all that it had.
The smell was overpowering: lemon lemon lemon. I could get nothing else but sweet, sugary lemons, maybe a hint of lime or another citrus fruit, but that might be a stretch. It mostly reminded me of lemon-scented Mr. Clean. I could barely handle it.
The taste was no surpise: acidic tasting, mostly lemon, and definately some lime in there as well. The flavor was sweet and tangy, but by no means tasty. No malt presence, a only a touch of hops. Combine this taste with a thin, well carbonated mouthfeel, and you don't have a beer, you have a soda. In fact, I couldn't believe it was beer, I thought it was kind of type of Smirnoff Ice and Mike's Hard Lemonade drink. But sure enough, all over the bottle, it proudly advertised itself as a beer.
I even ordered another one to let my friends try it. All the guys at the table, self-described beer fans, couldn't stand it. All the girls at the table, self-described beer haters, ordered another round!
If I want something that tastes this way, I'll order a Sprite. If I want a beer, I'll avoid it.
