Comments:  Sometimes its all about where & when you drink a beer.  In 2010, I drank Summer Shandy at the Cabana on a hot day & it hit the spot: rated a B.  In 2011, I drank  Summer Shandy inside, at a dumpy sports bar - no atmosphere & the beer tasted terrible; rated an F.   This year I once again drank Summer Shandy at the Cabana on a nice sunny afternoon, watching the boaters on the Ohio River.  "Hazy yellow color, drank it in a plastic cup  - by the time it was served, the head was gone.  Strong orange, lemon  / lemonade smell & taste - nice beer for a hot day in the sun."
