Wow, this is a good one, great flavor and a smooth go down, fantastic aroma and a solid orange look make this a winner, best consumed over Summers in my opinion.

Pours like carbonated grapefruit juice, with a head that is thin and fleeting. It mostly tastes like grapefruit juice. The mouthfeel is really great though. It's effervescent, prickly, acidic and thirst quenching.

Pours the same color as it is in the bottle - dead ringer for orange kool-aid. Minimal head, no lacing.

Smells exactly like Halls DEFENSE plus Vitamin C cough drops. Or the square ones, are they the same?

Thankfully the flavor is much better, with tons of sweet orange and lemon-like shandy flavors. The antiseptic Defense cough drop flavor is there as well, but I like those so I'm okay with it. A thick malt base leaves a coating on the palate. Finish is of sweet citrus and lemon lime.

Feel is a tad chalky but keeps it from sinking into malt beverage territory.

Overall, an extremely sweet beer with a ton of quenchability and flavor, I'd have this again if I didn't care what I was drinking. A virtual liquid Halls Defense cough drop.

 

 

Sampled last night on 9/21/15. Comes in a 11.2 ounce (330ml) bottle with a pull-off metal cap. Bottle chilled down to 36 degrees F in my beer cooler and poured in to a pint glass.

brew pours a reddish-orange in color with no head to speak of. Same with the lacing, nothing actually. Aroma is of some citrus zest and light malts. Pretty much is said for the taste. Very light with a slightly clean fresh finish. Lighter-bodied with perfect carbonation. Overall, a great summer brew that goes down fast and easy.

Appearance: Orange Fanta (TM)

Aroma: Grapefruit Lemon Pledge (TM)

Flavor: Actually not as artificial as the look and smell would have you suspect. Mild lemon tartness, balanced fairly well with a the semi-sweet grapefruit.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light bodied.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tastes like ruby red grapefruit

 

 

LOOK: A bright orange colored brew pours from the pull tap capped bottle. Decent clarity but there is some sediment in the bottle.

SMELL: Bright citrus, grapefruit and orange, with some malt in the background.

TASTE: Enjoyable flavors of grapefruit juice, orange syrup, malt and a hint of bitters. Tangy and fruity, as the bottle suggests, this is quite a refreshing, citrus tinged beer. Wheat malt adds to flavor, and really helps to carry the citrus and broaden the profile.

FEEL: Light bodied, crisp and well carbonated beer. Drinks very easily and is downed quickly without much thought or effort.

OVERALL: This imported shandy does a pretty good job at delivering a refreshing experience. Has big citrus, wheat malt, and a light tang that makes it interesting. A nice beer to review before noon. Breakfast beer.
