Its funny how many people on here don’t have a clue what a radler is. Folks, a Radler is a mixed beer. Pils and lemonade... thats it. It is common in Germany as you would not play a sport in summer and drink straight pils all day now would you? It’s not a blond beer, it’s not a fruit beer, it’s simply a pils and sprite/7up. Please stop comparing it as a beer. It would be like saying a cola-beer tastes like cola and therefore tastes artifical... which is just stupid.

Bitburger Radler does not match-up to some of the competition it faces in Germany. Bitburger Pils is not a good mixing beer, the taste is just too distinct. Karlsburg Saar-Radler is a suprerior alternative- it is lighter and more refreshing.

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2010 Clear yellow with a tiny white head. Sweet aroma with lemons and lime. Sweet flavour with lemons, lime and malty hints. Finished sweet.

0,33 l fles. heerlijk verfrissend "sneeuwwitje".

Ok radler, actually has a decent lemon flavor, not so artificial as some I´ve tried. Still a radler though! lol.

33 cL bottle. Pours pale yellow with a small white head. Crisp citrusy and beery aroma. Flavour is mild citiric and crisp. Light beer accent. Ends citric and light grassy.

Poured a golden amber with a white foamy head. Smell was of overpowering lemon. Taste was a very bitter lemon.

Bottle. Strong lemon-lime aroma. Pale yellow color with minimal head. Initially sweet lemon-lime flavor followed by a distinct barley malt and light hops. Nice malty aftertaste. This is an above average Radler - unlike many others, this at least has a detectable beer flavor.
