Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Consumed on 20Jul15.
LOOK: Pours with a half finger's worth of foam that shrivels down into a line of foam within 15 seconds. Has an extremely cloudy pale yellow color. Bubbles are so scarce, that I can count them as they rise. Lacing is pretty much absent. Whatever lacing there is, has about as much cohesion as water has to glass.
SMELL: Strong aromas of artificial and oversugared lemonade combine with mild alkaseltzer (yes, I said alkaseltzer) and lime peel aromas. The lemonade aromas, although artificial, have a mild tartness to them that is practically overpowered by the vast amounts of sugar. The lime peel aromas bring a displeasing bitterness to an already terrible smell. Hints of spicy hops and sweet bread can also be detected, and are sadly, the only thing telling me that this is a beer.
TASTE: Upon first sip, strong oversugared and artificial lemonade flavors horribly clash with mild and bitter lime peel flavors. Just like in the smell, the lemonade flavors have a tartness to them that lies within the shadows of the overbearing sweetness. For the second and final act of this monstrosity, strong alkaseltzer flavors along with a hint of spicy hop flavors immediately trail. The sweet bread aromas that were detected by the nose are completely undetectable as flavors.
FEEL: Medium-bodied, moderately carbonated, and ends with an extremely crisp finish. The sourness from the lemonade flavors playfully agitate the tongue.
NOTE: Honestly, the refreshingly crisp finish is the ONLY thing saving this beer from receiving a rating of pure garbage. I honestly can't picture anybody enjoying this. Maybe if you were literally dying from thirst and this was the only thing around to drink. I have had my share of foul beers, but this takes the cake.

Awful mix of beer and soda, taste is absolutely artificial lemon and it´s very hard to find the beer character in this drink. This is not for beer drinkers, more for soda drinkers. Maybe kids that are just legal to drink.
