Rickard's Radler from Molson Coors bought it in a 12 pack for 14,99$
Look: Nice looking beer. About a finger of white head that quickly goes away.
Smell: Sweet grapefruit with a touch of sour in it.
Taste: Sweet grapefruit, citrus, some sour on the background. Goes down really easily. Low carbonation. Feel like limonade.
Feel: Watery, normal from a 3,,2% ABV. Very refreshing on very hot day. Doesn't feel like candy sour.
So overall would I recommend it? Absolutely, during a hot summer day, this is the beer to go !

First ever radler so I'm not sure what to expect but I love grapefruits so I had to give it a try.
Looks like an apple juice diluted in water, you definitely see through it.
Smell of lemon and grapefruit juice.
Tastes like a lemonade with a grapefruit finish.
Really refreshing, nice carbonation in the mouth. I don't know how true it is to the style but with a little bit more alcohol and if it was dry-hoped I'm sure this would become a summer favorite.

My first radler, I was pleasantly surprised by this refreshing drink. Nicely carbonated, grapefruit-citrus with some tartness then sweet-malt flavored, lite and refreshing. Very Nice.

Bottle, part of the Rickard's summer mixed pack.
Pale orange color, slightly hazy. Bubbles jump up, then fall right back down. Thin cap of head, tiniest of lace lines.
Smell has lots of grapefruit (as expected), slightly on the sweet side.
Taste is a bit grainy to start. Lots of fruity sweetness, grapefruit, orange, citrus.
Lots of fizz in the mouth feel, light and refreshing.
Overall, its a good hot weather drink. Not bad, but there are better examples out there.

473 ml can served cold into a pint glass. purchased from the Beer Store for $2.45 CDN per can.
Appearance - Pale and hazy yellow orange colored beer. Two fingers of head that quickly recede into a very small head. Plenty of lively carbonation.
Smell - Lots of grapefruit, albeit forced. Some orange too.
Taste - Some grapefruit, some orange, some artificial sugar then a sweet graininess. Tart flavors do not last here.
Mouthfeel - Fizzy like pop. Light and refreshing.
Overall - It's not a terribly bad radler, but by no means is it great either. Like most of the Rickard's line, it's above the mass produced stuff, but below the quality small scale. Amsterdam's Blood Orange radler was better.

341ml bottle, a single thankfully procured, well, just that, I suppose.
This beer pours a hazy, super-duper pale whitish straw, um, 'colour', with two fingers of weakly puffy, undeservedly foamy, and pretty much just fizzy dirty white head, which leaves but a few specks of surface-adjacent microbial lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of acrid underripe white grapefruit juice, a hint of wan grainy pale malt, and that weird aroma you might get from any particular grocery store soda - yeah, I don't know either. The taste is more of the same, just a plain fruity citrus-juice infused pop character - sitting uncomfortably beside some timid grainy malt, origin hard to, or just not worthy of, investigating. Hops are equally not particularly interesting, due to their bland and sort of non-existent nature.
The carbonation is rather active in its overwrought frothy and fizzy manifestations, the body on the far side of the medium weight vista, and smooth, via a smoothie-like airy creaminess. It finishes on the tempered sweet citrus side, with very little else evident.
Yeah, a rather easy to drink, um, beverage, but nothing really resembling a beer, even by Rickard's/Molson standards, which I suppose isn't all that fair, as the trendy beyond belief radlers that I've encountered in the past year or so also include some of the better craft brewers in this nation of ours. So I guess I shouldn't be casting stones here, or something to that effect.
