Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy is what the German's call a Radler (Bicyclist for those english speakers around here). A traditional radler is 1/2 Beer and 1/2 lemonade. You know, for when you have to ride your bicycle home. A traditional summer radler is the father, the sun, and the holy ghost desending upon your tongue. It gets you drunk, and it is refreshing as all get-out.
The Leinie's version is an honest attempt that is mostly authentic, yet falls short of full pleasure and refreshing. Don't get me wrong. I finished the six-pack, but I'd probably never drink it again. I will however, continue my search for a Radler in Chicago. (I guess I _could_ always make my own). If you're doing manual labor, I would recommend their berrywies instead. It's not really beer, but it is refreshing and drinky.

Update: We have no affiliation with Leinengkugel, so shut the F-up. I just wanted to warn people away from trying new things. Well, this new thing.
