What is the best lager for a shandy?

I'm not a big lager fan and I struggle to drink a pint of it on it's own. It's just not to my taste, however I love a shandy.

What's the best lager for this, something that wont be too overpowering.

Cheers.

Fosters.

And a lager tops is worth trying if you don't like just lager, rather than a half and half.

I've yet to try this... Been recommended it, I presume it takes the harshness away from it.

I will give Fosters a go... If I'm doing it at home, would you get the cans or the bottles?

That's the best lager, terrible to spoil it with lemonade!

If you don't like lager, try something smoother.

Guinness is really nice once you get used to the feeling of it

I do enjoy guinnes. However I also like shandy and it's not always appropriate to drink a guiness. For e.g. during the day or when driving.

I'm talking one shandy with a 3 course meal. It's never done me any harm and I can't imagine it ever will. Although I am aware the slightest drop can have an effect on you, just not enough to do any damage.
