Handwritten notes: Definitely in the "not quite beer" category... but I like it as a soda very much.... tastes exactly like a lemon meringue pie... very light and refreshing. I could picture sipping one of these with a towel draped across my shoulders after a dip in some frigid Wisconsin lake, with the smell of bratwurst sizzling on a charcoal grill wafting through the summer air. I was alive then. Truly alive. However, it is not beer, and this is not the lemonade project (coming soon?).
