Strawberry Lemonade
Victory Brewing Company - Downingtown

A - Light lemon gold colored pour with moderate lacing.

S - Yep, smells like tart strawberry lemonade with a slight bit of perfume presence.

T - Tart, tangy lemon with some perfume-like strawberry, ends on the perfumey twangy side.

M - Medium body with light carbonation and slightly puckering.

O - Would like to re-visit this one with a fresher can.

The pour that emptied the entire contents of a pint can into a clear glass liter mug showed a liquid that looks like any American Adjunct Lager. It's thinly bright and almost clear light amber. A modest just-off-white head completes the visual. It smells like a decent shanty, if there is such a thing. Both strawberry and lemon reach the nose in good measure. Both are there to taste, too, with the lemon getting a slight upper hand. Maybe that's because of the tartness of the brew. There's even a little maltiness to the finish, making this a respectable shanty. It's more like a fruited ale than an average shanty, or fruited sour. The head was short-lived and there was little lacing left inside the glass. The label claims this to be your favorite summer sipper and that may not be too far off. It's not overly fruity and only mildly tart. Probably, it's best enjoyed on a hot summer, or as a pleasant change of pace.
