Brewmaster Brad's Thoughts:
 
"Not much is more refreshing than an ice-cold glass of fresh lemonade, or for that matter, a cold, lower ABV American Wheat Beer. Brewers have known this to be a great combination for a long time, and it is high time for a recipe kit featuring this classic combination. The base beer is a simple American Wheat with moderately low bitterness and then it is dosed with real, all-natural, preservative-free crystallized lemon. Not to be confused with lemonade mixes or soft drink mixes, the crystallized lemon in this recipe is just that – lemon. Since the crystallized lemon contains no sugar, the beer gets a delicious dose of lemonade flavor without adding additional fermentables that could lead to a renewed fermentation or possible over-carbonation in the bottle. Give this one a whirl, it is truly a refreshing treat even for the biggest of hop heads."

Very good but not lemony.

I like this much my but will purchase and add more !lemon flavor next time. Was also a little.too sour at 2 weeks bottle conditioning. At 4 weeks, just right.

Really good beer

This kit was easy to use and I used the fast priming sugar for the first time and it all went great. This kit yielded a full 48 beers for me which was great! This kit was easy and now starting to enjoy them - it has a great taste. During the bottling, I think I may have needed to continue to agitate the mixture because I feel like the lemon (after dissolved) gravitated to the bottom so the lemon-y flavor is not even distributed. Overall, I would definitely do this kit again.

This beer was very delicious. It could've used a bit more lemon, but that is just a personal preference.
