12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 7/8/2016. Pours slightly hazy reddish-orange/pink color, with a 2 finger foamy/fluffy light pink head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tart raspberry, lemonade, wheat, cracker, herbal, floral, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of lemonade, raspberry, rosemary, and pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart raspberry, lemonade, wheat, cracker, herbal, floral, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruit tartness and herbal bitter/spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of tart raspberry, lemonade, wheat, cracker, herbal, floral, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice robustness and balance of lemonade, raspberry, rosemary, and pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/tartness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, crisp, dry, and lightly acidic/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 2.7%. Overall this is an excellent shandy style! All around great robustness and balance of lemonade, raspberry, rosemary, and pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink; a lot of flavor for the extremely low ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
