Comments: Sometimes its all about where & when you drink a beer. Last year I had Summer Shandy at the Cabana on a hot day… this year inside at the Sports Depot on a cool Saturday evening. Here's last year's comments: "Hazy yellow color, drank it in a plastic cup at the Cabana - by the time it was served, the head was gone. Strong lemon / lemonade smell & taste - great beer for a hot day in the sun." This year my comments are: "It's lemonade - just dump it." I'll try this beer again in July.
Shandies are really popular in Germany (without the lady-like stigma) and there are some good ones there for when you want something weaker than a beer but still refreshing. This one, I have to say, didn't really measure up. In general it's not going so well at Barley Buddy yet, either: http://www.barleybuddy.com/89837_By_Region/89491_American/151327_Leinenkugels_Summer_Shandy
