A - Poured out of the bottlem the color is close to lemonade....imagine that. Though it is very clear and poured with a finger and a half of head.
S - Ugh, it smells like cheap hotel lemon cleaner....
T - I imagine this is what hotel lemon cleaner tastes like. A lemonade flavor that seems watered down followed by a slight bitterish beer flavor.
M/D - Weak and thin mouthfeel. In hot weather where I am drinking a lot over a long day, I could really get into it.

Bottle of 330 ml, at home.
Golden yellow colour, with a one finger thin head that disappeared almost straight away. Quite a few bubbles rising to the top. With just a glance this looks like a normal pilsner.
Aroma is typical for a radler, very strong lemon smell, mostly artificial.
The taste is also your average radler, with the lemon flavour being so much stronger than that of beer.
Thin on the body and averagely carbonated, this serves honestly the purpose it was made for. To quench your thirst on the summer months.

'A queen amongst beers', as stated on the label.
A girls' beer, i guess.
33 cl. bottle, 50% lemonade in it, as it is.
Looks golden, with a modest white head, that disappears quickly, but good carbonation.
Smell clearly lemon, perhaps even a bit artificially lemon.
Taste similar: very artificial lemon. It's sweet, but you cannot get away from the impression you're drinking sweetened cleaning fluid.
Smooth...
Easy drinkable, but not really a beer, imo.
You have to be into lemon for this.

Review from BeerAdvocate magazine Vol. II Issue VIII:
The flavor of beer reaches to encompass many flavors; some are naturally there, and some are added. A good example of added is the Radler, which is simply a combo of beer and some sort of lemon mixture. Warsteiner's is half Premium Vernum, which is their Pilsner, and half lemon mixture.
Crystal-clear, pale yellow color, good lacing all around. Lemon juice sweetness or lemon drop candy and lemon oil in the aroma with a spicy backside. Very refreshing with a decent crispness and light body. Lemon oil and candy flavor sticks to the palate for the fist half, then a mild Pilsner character meshes with the lemon and brings forth grain and a kiss of hop bitterness middle to end. Finishes very dry.
We can hear the purist beer drinkers now, shaking their head in disbelief that we are reviewing a beer mix. To the naysayers, even a beer mix like this has a time a place, and for what it's worth, this beer is easy to quaff, though we wish there was a little more crispness up front.

The aroma is faintly malty with a lemon drop candy element. The appearance is pale gold with a thin head. The taste is like the aroma. The palate is average for the style. Overall this is a pretty junky beer. I do not want to drink this often. Good thing I had no expectation that it would be good.

12oz brown bottle poured into a mug
Warsteiner Premium Radler poured a pale clear yellow that produced a smallish size head that dissipated rather quickly. Aroma and taste is of lemon and more lemon and more lemon...get the point! Malt flavor and hop bitterness is not present at all.
Warsteiner Radler should be categorized as kind of a "beer cooler". This beer is made for "slamming" on a warm summers day especially with its very low 2.5 ABV.
I would recommend this brew to one that is not too fond of beer.

Pours a light cloudy yellow/straw color with barely a rim of any head, low carbonation.
Smell has notes of sugar and iced-tea.
Taste is sugary, with some lemon tea flavors, very artificial.
There is absolutely no after-taste here.
Drinks very well, but it's only 2.5%. It is refreshing though and a decent buy at $2.50 a six-pack.
