I'm about to make some myself and thought I would look on line , I make wine and beer and I have made cherry beer and black berry beer successfully I do believe what ever type of lemon you use would have to be put in the primary fermentor and after two weeks you start racking to make it clearer , you will never get it completely clear ! after racking twice then you apply your priming sugar the same way you would any beer and then bottle
Add a few ounces of Mikes Hard Lemonade to any summer (wheat) beer. Makes a great summer drink.
Take a German beer and mix with soda or juice (Like lemonade). You now have a radler aka shandy.

I enjoy mixing a Hefeweizen and lemonade. Half and half is a good place to start.
I haven't tried that one, but traditionally I believe shandy is a mix of beer and lemon lime soda. i don't believe the lemon is usually fermented at all, although that may be how they do it with the beer you mentioned.
As I recall, it tastes a bit like someone dumped a bunch of Countrytime Lemonade mix into a light lager or a kolsch.
You could probably do better by brewing your own lemonade with fresh lemons and adding that to the beer. Just remember to monitor the pH; most yeast don't like the conditions below about 3.4.
