Grolsch Radler Citroen
Grolsch Bierbrouwerij N.V.

 

 

De Carrefour. En copa Alhambra. En almuerzo, con papas con carne de cerdo. Igual de agradable que su radler 0.0, sin notas raras, y en este caso con un toque maltoso que la asemeja mas a birra y no solo a refresco

Hazy pale yellow with a fast-disappearing head. Spicy lemon nose, lovely. Light, sweet body, more pop than beer. Light on the tongue. OK radler.

 

Pours a hazy lemony yellow. White head that evaporates fast.

Smell is lemon and general citrus. Taste is slightly sweet lemon.

Beer is light bodied with a crisp finish.

Grade: A.

473 mL can from the LCBO; dated Feb 22 2019 and served barely chilled.

Pours a cloudy pale straw colour, producing one finger of bubbly, frothy white head that falls apart completely within two minutes' time. A narrow collar persists on, along with a few splotches of lace; looks like lemonade, basically. Very lemony on the nose - it's kind of got that lemon-scented dish soap thing going on, but I've encountered worse offenders of that nature. Sugary lemonade is the only other thing I'm getting here; there's basically no beer character to this one whatsoever.

Not bad... not great either, but at least it's refreshing. Lemon juice, lemonade and fruit sugar describe about 98% of the flavour profile, with the remainder being suggestions of grainy, gritty pale malts - and those are largely relegated to the aftertaste, because that's the only point in the sip where the lemon flavours start to weaken. Light in body, with aggressive carbonation levels that feel spritzy in the mouth, giving this just the sort of crisp bite that I want from a radler. Easy to drink, but that's not saying much.

Final Grade: 3.06, a forgettable C+. Well, if you like lemonade, and won't be turned off by the fact that it tastes nothing like a beer, you'll probably enjoy Grolsch Radler. I didn't mind this one, but it's not something I have any interest in returning to any time soon. In all honesty, I tend to prefer grapefruit radlers over the lemon-centric ones, so personal tastes are a definite factor at play here. I don't expect much from a radler: just that it's juicy and refreshing - targets that Grolsch Radler only barely meets. Tick it if it piques your interest.

Cerveza de color amarillo pálido, con una cabeza blanca mediana que desaparece en instantes. Ligera y de carbonatación media. Aroma cítrica, claramente volcado al limón. En boca es ligera, mas parecido a un refresco que a una cerveza pero no está mal. Para beber con mucho calor o con amigos.

Too artificial in character across the board. Pale soft hazy yellow, which is nice enough, but no head or lace speaker with a minute or so of hitting the glass. Smells like acough drop or throat lozenges. Overly sweet in character, artificial. Reminds me of drinking NeoCitran. Just for the cooler crowd, might work over ice by the poolside.

Can- pours a hazed pale straw color with a large puffy cap...aroma is sweet citrus soda -like....flavor follows aroma, weak, sweet sweet citus with no redeeming dry finish ...I thought I'd try this radler because I found a Linencugle's shandy refreshing but this is just too sweet and soda-like...not my cup of tea.

 

 

 

Avoid at all costs blah

Brrrr. Stay away from this 'beer'. Unless you're my mum. Then you can drink anything you like. I tried the lemon flavor. Also comes in other flavors. Don't bother.
