Totally Radler
Hopworks Brewery

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from 16oz tall can into a dimpled mug.

Appearance: light silvery-yellow hue with a light haze and a thin finger of frothy white foam. Looks like a witbier; I like it.

Smell: lightly sweet malt with a dash of lemon. It's kind of underwhelming; not quite macro lager level of blandness but not very special, either.

Taste: lightly sweet lager with a balanced dose of lemon juice. More fruity than tart; not too bad.

Mouthfeel: light body with a surprisingly good carbonation and a decent creaminess.

Overall: this beer gets a lot of points for drinkability. Sure the aroma is underwhelming, but that dash of lemon juice makes this one quaffable radler.

16oz can, my serving is in a sampler from Georgetown. Canned on May 26, 2015, batch 1.

Pours hazy white-yellow with small head and moderate carbonation. Smell is lemon/lime.

Taste is very tart lemon/lime, not overly sweet at all (which is a normal case in my experience with radlers). Still more like a soda than a beer, but more refreshing with the lack of sweetness.

Mouthfeel is a little odd, something kind of chalking about it. Overall, tasty radler -- a style I don't take terribly seriously, but enjoy from time to time.

 

Hopworks Urban Brewery Totally Radler- 2.6% abv.

A: like a weissbier. Cloudy.
S: biery, lemony.
T: lemon bier with a bit of lemon peel bitterness and maybe a lime aspect, like a natural biery lemon soda.
M: tangy, with a lingering lemon peel bitterness and alcohol on the roof of the mouth
O: a good Radler, more complex than some others. Compares favorably to Stiegl.

Very refreshing Summer radler, crip lemon Taste with a clean lager finish a very easy drinker for those hot summer backyard days

Above average for a raddler. Sweet with a little tartness and not as watery as I was expecting, and it doesn't beat you over the head with alcohol. All though your buddies might if they see you drinking this.

16 oz can bought from LIfesource Natural Grocer in Salem OR $2.99..also note that the can says only 2.6% alc. Pours a slightly hazy yellow colour with a nice thick and frothy pure white head. Not much aroma but what there is is a pleasing sweet lemon. Taste is definitely AMERICAN style lemonade..its all that..maybe some small grassy hop beneath. Mouth feel is OK..maybe a wee bit cloying like lemonade. Not really impressed....pitiful compared to Gilgamesh’s Radler but should appeal to drinkers of the old Mike’s Hard Lemonade. I often wondered what a shandy made from US style lemonade would taste like and its way way worse than shandy made with Brit lemoinade
