April 6, 201214 yr Has anyone else tried this? I think I've found my summer favorite. Pretty refreshing.:dancingpa
April 6, 201214 yr Ohhhhh yes and I'm right there with you my friend. It is delicious. My roommate's dad brought some down for tailgating the year before last. I love me some summer shandy.
April 6, 201214 yr That's all I drank last summer. It's perfect. Got my first 12 of it last weekend. I'll get my second 12 in about an hour or so.
April 6, 201214 yr Funny story. My roommate and I were watching the reds play on tv last summer when a summer shandy commercial came on. We immediately went and bought some because shandy is a combination of our first names. I had never heard of shandy before seeing that commercial. It's a good drink for hot summer days.
April 6, 201214 yr Oh yeah, it turned out that it was the closest thing to beer that my then girlfriend would drink. Now she drinks beer like a normal person, and I think it's thanks to the lemonade/beer taste of the shandy.
April 8, 201214 yr I didn't think I'd like it but I'm the type who will try anything. Great beer by the pool.
April 9, 201214 yr It's ok. But definitely not my favorite. Lemonade beer is a very accurate description.
April 9, 201214 yr In my book, it's not bad for an every once-in-a-while, "sure, I'll have a bottle of that" kind of beer. There are WAY too many other great beers out there to give it much more attention than that, though.
April 9, 201214 yr Author I haven't it tried it yet but may. Tell me about the taste? A shandy, or shandygaff, is beer mixed with citrus-flavored soda, carbonated lemonade, ginger beer, ginger ale, or cider. The proportions of the two ingredients are adjusted to taste, normally half-and-half. Light taste, good for summer. I agree, not the only one I'll drink, but a nice change when you want to switch it up. Also found another brand, Shock Top. Same idea.
April 9, 201214 yr I have enjoyed a few Shandy's in my time, but I can't drink them all night. Taste great to randomly throw one if after a hot days work or when you are outside all day camping/working/poolside.

I'm not a big Leinenkugel fan. I can drink one or two of the Shandy beer but they make a beer called Sunset Wheat that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. It tastes like Fruity Pebbles with a hint of beer. Yuckie...
April 9, 201214 yr I made the mistake of trying this before I read the responses. I am with cwf, Yuck! Isn't fruit in your beer violation of a man rule?
