Styled as a Radler by OCB and also put UnTappd's Radler/Shandy, BA categorizes this as a Fruit Beer and that suits Tour until the decision is made to sync categories.
But the Radler style is interesting; predominantly started in Bavaria for bicycle competitions, it was a 50-50 mix of beer and citrus juice, usually lemonade or orange. Now, grapefruit is popular throughout Germany and Austria. The French also like summer refreshment and have a similar mixed drink called "panache.'" And the style is increasingly popular in Italy and Spain as well. Also pinched from "the Oxford Companion To Beer" is the mixing of wheat beers with citrus.
As I drink Tour, I think OCB thought a Radler would be easy ... and they made it seem so. I also think OCB wanted to show the superiority of mice in the Animal Kingdom by having mice-on-bikes leading the pack on the label. Anyhow, Tour lets me taste everything in it that is advertised: grapefruit and lime juices, sea salt and coriander. But most important, it is refreshing. And I'm glad I bought a 4-pack to get through these Dogs Days.
