330ml bottle into 350ml beer glass. Loose head, dies immediately. Light, clear yellow.
Lots of lemon on the nose as you'd expect a little grass.
Palate is this and not particularly flavourful. Lemon coming through.
Call it a 'radler' if you must but it's just a weak shandy, you know, like most beers labelled as a radler.
Would be refreshing and drinkable if chilled half to deaty and drunk at a BBQ in the blazing hot sunshine. Otherwise I don't consider it a beer.
Not recommended.

330ml bottle, another 50/50 mix of German lager and 'zitrone' - Euro lemonade.
This beer pours a clear, super pale, diluted straw 'colour', with two fingers of puffy, densely foamy, and somewhat foamy eggshell white head, which leaves some decent coral atoll cave lace around the glass as things sink away.
It smells of subdued lemon pith, lime zest, musty and grainy pale malt, a soft doughy breadiness, sugary apple, and a hint of earthy yeast. The taste is much sweeter, the weirdly under-sugared Euro lemon soda character duly shining through, alongside the capable enough bready pale malt, for it having been cut in half by design, and faint grassy, herbal noble hops.
The bubbles are fey and weakly frothy when they aren't, the body a surprisingly solid medium-light weight, and pretty smooth, when it slowly dawns on the drinker that this isn't actually soda-pop. It finishes on the sweet, restrained fruity side, with the malt putting in a good showing, but secretly considering reneging on its contract.
I'm guessing that the underlying beer here is their Kölsch (a stretch, I know), as the bakery-borne malt does well to keep itself more than relevant - so much so, in fact, that after some acclimatizing, the fruit juice/soda/candy character starts to recede a fair bit, rendering this an actually enjoyable lemon-tinted (and low, low ABV - don't forget that!) German light lager. Does the Reinheitsgebot really cover this sort of thing?
