16 ounce can into pint glass, best before 4/3/2019. Pours slightly hazy golden orange/amber/light pink color with 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/sour/tart/tangy pomegranate/seeds, pink grapefruit, lemon, citrus peel/zest/rind, wheat, cracker, white bread, light pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of pomegranate, grapefruit, lemons, moderate pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/sour/tart/tangy pomegranate/seeds, pink grapefruit, lemon, citrus peel/zest/rind, wheat, cracker, white bread, light pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate fruit tang/tartness; and citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour/tart/tangy pomegranate/seeds, pink grapefruit, lemon, citrus peel/zest/rind, wheat, cracker, white bread, light pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome robustness and balance of pomegranate, grapefruit, lemons, moderate pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness and fruit tang/tartness balance. Slight lingering hop/fruit astringency, but not overwhelming. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness, fruit tang/tartness, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately grainy/acidic/tangy/tannic, and fairly crisp/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.2%. Overall this is an awesome radler. All around great robustness and balance of pomegranate, grapefruit, lemons, moderate pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modestly tart/tangy/bitter/drying finish. Not overwhelming on any aspect. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome balance of vibrant citrus/pomegranate fruits and wheat beer flavors; with nice earthy hop presence. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive style example as expected. If it was a bit less bitter, than it would be perfect.

 

Wonderful grapefruit Radler. Poured from can to glass. Pour is pink and hazy, with a finger of fizzy head that bubbles up and is gone. Effervescent body. Aroma is full of fresh, tangy grapefruit. Flavor is sweet pink grapefruit with a tiny tang. It's like a Schofferhofer with fuller feel and flavor.
