330 ml bottle, from REMA 1000, Tau. ABV is 2.5%. Probably the first German Radler I have seen in Norway. Clear pale golden colour, moderate to low white head. Smells like a lemon soda. Tastes primarily like a lemon soda too, with just a hint of pale lager beer. Sweet. Not undrinkable though, but give me a proper beer, please!

Krombacher Radler bought a 4 packs for 7,99$

Look: Pale golden colour, crystal clear. No head. Nothing special. Pretty average.

Smell: Lemonade, citrus, lime, sweet malt, honey.

Taste: Lemonade, citrus, lime, honey, malt,

Feel: Oh boy, light body, light carbonation, easy drinking but I just can't stand the mix between 50% beer, and 50% with lemon juice and malt all mix. It feels like you are drinking a Smirnoff Ice with a bud light. It just don t work.
The feel let me down really bad. Like Bud Light radler was good, but this one feels so artificial that its just a garbage feel.

So overall would I recommend it ? No

Would I buy it again ? No, the feel and the aftertaste is just nasty. It's really disappointing because the smell is good, the taste is good I really dint mind the lemon, but the artificial crap after on the back end just no.

Cerveza con un mínimo cordón espumoso de poca duración. Ligera y de carbonatación media/alta. Aromas cítricos que hacen evidentes una vez en boca. 2.5% de alcohol.

Pours a clear golden coloration with a large foamy head and visible carbonation. Strong, fizzy citrus aroma in the nose, smells like a lemonade, basically. Taste follows the nose, being more reminiscent of a soda/lemonde than beer, but with very light biscuity malt coming through. Taste is dominated by lemon, with a certain fizzy powder twang to it. Has some sugary sweetness to it, which really isn't too bad though. Finishes with no bitterness whatsoever and that certain, tart'ish lemon twang lingering in the aftertaste. Light body with lively carbonation.

Well, this isn't really a beer, so what can I say? It does actually make for great, refreshing summer soda, but then again, I might as well just have a soda in the first place. Terrible beer, nice beverage.

From Carrefour San Juan. In Teku glass. At lunch, with plaices + macaroni bolognesa. More metallic than lemony. Not easy to finish. There are much better and cheaper alternatives, like a simple mahou mixta

11.2 fl oz. bottle, bottled 05/21/15, best by 05/21/16. Acquired a single bottle of this stuff as part of a mixed six pack at the local Binny's.

Poured into clear tulip-ish stemware.

A - A golden honey colored body, crisp lager-ish appearance, a bit darker than other radlers I've encountered. This one has the consistency of actual 'beer'. One big finger of frothy white head, good scattered lacing. Appears adequately carbonated. Looks nice.

S - Some crisp honeyed malt, a bit of an odd swampy funkiness. Mostly a pronounced honey sweetness. No overt notes of white sugar, lemon, or citrus.

T - Taste follows the nose: honey sweetness & bready malt. Sweet & sugary, but not lemony or citric.

M - Feel is smooth, crisp, clean, lightly sweet & honeyed. Light & easy drinking stuff.

Overall, different than other examples of the style I've had, but far from the best. Worth a try.

Pale golden color, crystal clear. Lots of carbonation and a thin white, creamy head.
Very nice pale lemon, and faint hop smell.
Very sweet, not sour, candied lemon taste. Finishes with a slight hop. Probably too much lemon drop, but I like it. This stuff would be a great hot summer drink. Highly refreshing.
