Susquehanna Brewing Company Shady Spot Shandy Review

Shandies are not one of my favorite styles, but I do not discriminate. I figured I might as well try a local one. The only shandy I have ever been impressed by (and I use that term lightly) was Jack O' Traveler shandy.

SBC's Shady Spot pours an almost clear yellow with a decent head. The beer does smell more like lemon peel and less like lemonade mix, which is a good sign.

Unfortunately at first sip this Summer Shandy blends in with the rest. I imagine pouring lemonade in with a decent beer must make a much better shandy than any of these readily available ones. Sounds like I'll be trying that before this Summer is over


Overall this beer is somewhat bland and nothing worth seeking out. I've never had anything awful by SBC but have still never had anything great either. I've pretty much given up expectations of the latter. If you're a fan of shandies stick to a cheaper option as this is not worth the premium paid.
