Despite contrarian rumors, syrupy soda-like spritzer successfully plies sweet lemonade adjunct to light-bodied summertime radler.  Reminiscent of a lemony tea-leafed ginger ale, its explosive carbolic hop thrust adds salty astringency to the citric pleasantries. Deep in the mix are mandarin orange, navel orange and tangerine notions that affix the candied lemon sugaring.

Cloying summery fruit-based malt liquor (inexplicably labeled a golden Helles lager though better defined as a lemon-sugared Bavarian radler) offers sparkling lemonade tartness to spritzy corn-sugared ginger ale likeness. Acidic lime juice pucker fortifies lemon tea backend. Hot afternoon fodder for summer shandy sissies and wine cooler fools.
