Leinenkugel's Pomegranate Shandy | Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company. Poured from the bottle into a pint glass, this has a two finger thick head, not much lacing, and a medium-light gold body.

Smells like light malts with pomegranate.

I also taste those light malts and pomegranate. Not too sweet or syrupy. The finish is smooth as hell.

Medium-light mouthfeel with mild carbonation.

I'll go ahead and give Leinenkugel's Pomegranate Shandy | Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company a 4.25 rating.

On tap at Famous Dave’s in Mountainside. Pours a golden, effervescent hue with minimal frothing. Mellow aroma replete with hints of citrus and pomegranate. Similar overall flavor profile.

In the best tradition of Leinie’s other fruity shandies, we have something that smells like Meier’s fruit “wine lookalike” juice and tastes along those lines too. This is certainly less like beer and more like fruit juice, though there is a very subtle beer taste hidden under everything. If you’re in the mood for sweet, and looking to sample all of the Leinie’s fruits, it ain’t bad. 2017/11/10

Whoa. Does this one have some sweetness to it. I do usually like the Shandy category of beer, this one makes it sweet and almost to a point where it does not taste like beer, it kind of tastes like a bite into a Pomegranate, this is sweet but it does have some beer flavoring to it.

From a 12 oz. bottle with a March 5, 2018 bottling date on 26 June 2018.

Clear golden body underneath a white head that holds up well.

Aroma: very fruity with pomegranate, raspberry, faint tangerine, and wheat bread,

Flavor: very fruity with a mild, bitter finish. Notes of pomegranate, orange, tangerine, and lemon with white bread.

Feel: The body is light to medium; smooth with lively, medium carbonation.

You wouldn't guess a beer packaged this way would actually pour so beautifully! Hazy white ale colored, with a thin bubbly head. Boy this beer is pungent though. You can smell the candy at arms length. As such, the scent lacks depth. It's got an odd bitter foot smell in the back there though. Who would have thought, but this beer drinks like a shandy. It's smooth, juicy, and completely easy. Decent body to it, but all around it's just drinkable and too juicelike for my taste.

12 oz. bottle:

Pours clouded amber. The head doesn't last long. Some lacing sticks.

The smell is of pomegranate and some malt.

The taste is of sweettart pomegranate with bread.

Pretty creamy.

Not bad for a fruity shandy. Pomegranate noticeable but not overwhelming.

A neighbor gave it to me for free so the price was right for me. Wouldn't buy it personally, but if you want a pomegranate shandy it's worth the purchase. It is what it is supposed to be.

Not a big shandy fan, but this one is drinkable.
