13.65 Fl. OZ. can
Served in an imperial nonic pint glass
This beer pours a hazy, golden hue and is topped with a couple inches of creamy, beige head that leaves decent lacing.
It has a wonderful lemon zest and juice aroma. It smells like fresh lemonade.
Refreshing lemon flavor. It tastes like a shandy.
Creamy body with a pillowy mouthfeel
Great thirst quencher after an 11 hour workday in a hellishly humid Ohio summer day.

This beer did not live up to expectations. The look, smell, feel, and taste were all good, but something was missing, and I can't say for sure what it is. It tasted like a lemon popsicle blended. BOD 5-29-2024. This beer was Moldy in the can and only 9 months old.

L: Pale yellow, slightly hazy, delicate yet robust white nitro head
S: Capital L Lemon
T: Lemon. Leeeeeeeemon. Basically a shandy.
F: Smooth typical nitro thing
O: Uh it's pretty weird. If it didn't have the nitro thing going on I'm not sure it would be worth going back to vs a good shandy. If you don't like lemon, do not pick this up.

Slightly hazy golden color with a respectable creamy white head.
The aroma is lemon with a hint of caramel.
The taste is also LEMON with a very light caramel malt background. The body is light/medium, good carbonation, tart, crisp but creamy smooth and very drinkable.
Altogether, this is refreshing but somewhat disappointing, while I would normally go for a lemon flavored brew, this is kind of a one note wonder, it could benefit from a stronger malt base but the creamy nitro effect takes the edge off of a somewhat harsh lemon flavor.
