A finely balanced mix of ours Pilsner, our Marchand a lemonade that we make in Rothaus especially for our Radlerzäpfle. Accordingly, it tastes tangy and fresh and yet has a very slight tartness in it. Artificial flavors are consistently avoided in production.

Finally getting around to adding and reviewing this one...

Serving: From the bottle, since how the damn else do you drink a radler?
Served: July 2012

Apperance: Every time I had this, it was from the bottle. Pouring a radler out just doesn't make any sense. That being said, the bright green foil around the neck really livened up the appearance. Like all of Rothaus' beers, the foil was very easy to remove.

Smell: Smells like bitter beer lemonade, exactly how a radler should.

Taste: The best radler I had in Germany. The beer base is bitter with a medium-light body that complements nicely with the lemonade they mix in with the beer. The lemonade tastes real, not fake like many other mass-produced radlers, and gives the beer a huge punch of lemony flavor and some sweetness.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body, huge carbonation.

Overall: It's a radler, you can't be too serious about it.
