Slightly reddish gold. Not a lot of head. Visible tiny bubbles rising fast. It smells like lemon. Not as sweet as I was expecting. Very lemony, can't say that I like it. It is crisp and tart but has a medicine taste. I won't buy this again and it is probably going to take a while to get rid of the other 3 cans. Not recommended.

16 ounce can, looks like the canning date says JUL 29 2020 on the bottom of the can. Thanks to my friend Denis for this brew! Served in a nonic pint glass, the beer pours a somewhat clear pale gold color with about a half inch white head. Head retention and lacing are both decent enough. I like the aroma, the brew smells like lemon, lemon zest, vanilla and some grainy malt. I think the taste is pretty much like the aroma, but I do think the lemon flavor is the strongest compared to the others. More tart than sweet. Mouthfeel/body is light, it's crisp and easy to drink with a moderate amount of carbonation. Would really like this one on a hot day, but it was good today too. Worth a try if you come across some!

22 FL OZ bottle
Served in becker glass
This beer pours straw colored with a slight haze. It is topped with an inch of off white head that leaves minimal lacing.
There is definitely a lemon meringue aroma. I get the lemon with wafts of vanilla.
It starts out with plenty of lemon. I notice lemon flavoring gets a lemon Pledge taste. Some cream flavor comes through the middle and is secondary to the lemon.
Light and creamy mouthfeel
It is a refreshing and dessert-y beer.

5oz flight pour
It is a clear yellow
Smells mostly like lemon with a little bit of crisp graham cracker like grain.
The lemon dominates the flavor too. There is a good grainy crust too, but not real balanced and I don't get much vanilla, or cream like sweetness.

From a tap at The cherry street pub in Lancaster, Oh. Very flat, no lacing, and minimal carbonation.
No fragrance to speak of, and the taste is soapy and tart, with a bitter feel.
Best enjoyed in the hot summer, after a long day in the sun.

22 oz bottle poured into a Willybecher glass
A: Bright clear yellow body, with great carbonation. The head was a tiny fizzy white affair that disappeared quickly.
S: Lots of lemon and maybe a little cream smell like sweetener
T: Very nice flood of lemon then a sweet creamy taste then that nice light pillowy grain and light doughy cream ale flavor.
M: Lighter crisp clean beer with good carbonation.
O: This is not bad must beers that want to taste like something destroy the underlying beer trying to achieve it. I don't know about the meringue part so much but thus beer hits the lemon then finishes as the excellent underlying beer presents itself.

Amber fading to a lighter gold at the bottom, with a soft white head retaining a decent blanket.
Smell is lemon--really nice and vibrant. Plus strong but smooth vanilla.
Taste is lemon, vanilla, and toasted cookie, which really helps this nail the inspiration. I also get orange zest and a light grassiness.
Full bodied frothiness, yet fluid.
