Canadian Beer Notes

• Rickard's Shandy

  Brewery: Rickard’s (division of Molson Coors Canada)
  Style: Shandy
  ABV: 4.5%
  Availability: Bottles & cans across Canada

  Hazy straw-gold colour with a creamy white head that dissipates quickly. Pleasant lemonade aroma that seems natural, but not homemade - more like a store-bought lemonade made with natural lemon flavour. Body is crisp and clean, suitable for a summer refresher. Flavour is that of a simple pale lager with mildly sweet malt, barely noticeable hops, and an agreeable lemon drop finish. Not bad, but if I was really craving a shandy, I’d probably make my own with a more flavourful lager and fresh lemonade.
