It was out of a morbid curiosity that I tried it some time ago. My friend had nothing else so I though what the hell, maybe I'd give it a try before going out on a run.

MISTAKES WERE MADE.

They say it's a Weiss beer with lemonade, but they are fucking lying! It is instead like drinking bud light while chewing on lemon flavored sugarless gum and then brushing your teeth with dawn soap. The aspartame like flavor tastes of cancer. If I ever had to invade a country, I'd swap out their water supply with this shit and casually waltz in after they all died from dehydration.

-1/10 would never drink again.

So, aside from that, how did you like it?

I had to pour it out.

It was terrible.

.......Serious question - were you drinking summer shandy served at 140F after being stored in the back of a toyota camry for three weeks and exposed to the sun? Because that sounds like you drank some seriously skunked shandy. I'm a beer snob but summer shandy tastes okay on its own and makes a nice summer beer. I swear, summer shandy eclipses the light beer brigade for beer of choice during summer even in a place like grand rapids where everyone and their mom brews their own.

HOWEVER - if someone offers you warm, canned summer shandy then they are planning on killing you. A friend of mine gave me one and I now know what dish soap tastes like. Turns out he just sorta had it in the back of his car and "forgot" that it wasn't even room temperature yet.. He is also a bastard and his parents never loved him as a child.

You're broken. Please power yourself off and power yourself back on again in an attempt to reset.

No, it is nasty shit.

I have only found one beer in my life that was patently undrinkable, and that was Shiner Prickly Pear beer. Don't believe the reviews. It's shit. And I kind of like Shiner Bock. In my personal opinion, any beer that requires you to put fruit in it, or has fruit in it, shouldn't be called beer. Fruit has no place with beer (IMO).

Cleanse yourself with some Bell's Oberon.

I really don't like this beer brand at all. My dad bought a six pack of something from them. Tasted like bong water.

Have you had this? It's really good.

I have not. I'm really a pilsner kind of guy. I like the German and Czech pilsners best. One of my favorites is Bitburger Pils, in the .5 liter can. I've found the half liter is, for me, the best size. But you've got to pour it. Well, I think all beer must be poured.

Careful with Oberon. Sometimes they get some bad oranges and the beer goes to shit. I bought two minikegs for a cookout one time. One was excellent. The other? Tasted like dead fish.

So far the only thing that I have had from their collections that I have liked is the Big Eddy stuff. That I can wholeheartedly recommend. Some good shiznit right there

I actually quite like this stuff. For me it's a great "sitting on the beach at 10am getting wasted on vacation" beer.

They're owned by Miller, that stuff is shit.
