Episode 145 – Shandy Not So Bad

Posted By John on June 19th, 2009

Taking a break from the Schell’s we were given a chance to try a couple new beers. Brian M. brought Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy and Mad River Brewing Steelhead Scotch Style Porter. Next week we will finish the beers we acquired from the August Schell Brewing Co.

Week one of the hops challenge concluded. As expected there was little change.

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.
