We headed up to La Vista to visit the new location of Nebraska’s newest brewery. Lucky Bucket Brewing Company has been Brewing since 2009.

Leinenkugel – Summer Shandy
Posted By John on June 19th, 2009
Beer: Summer Shandy
Brewery: Leinenkugel Brewing
ABV: 4.2%
Reviewed: 17-Jun-09 on Episode 145
Appearance: Disturbingly bright yellow in color with a bleach white head.
Aroma: Lemony fresh which is slightly disturbing.
Taste: The lemon and malt flavors balance out well. This surprised the hellout of us as the lemon flavor was so dominant in the aroma.
Mouthfeel: light body with medium carbonation. Kinda like carbonated lemonade.
Aftertaste: Clean finish with no crazy lingering flavors.
Overall: There is a majority of our panel that feel shandies are an abomination before the beer gods. That said, this was the best shandy we’ve had and even though it won’t be a regular in our glass it was a well made beerish drink. Thanks to Brian M. for bringing the beer.
Best enjoyed at: an outdoor wrestling match.
