COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Radler beer is the German version of the English Shandy style, which is a blend of light ale and lemonade. In order to honor our brewing roots, we followed the German method of mixing natural Lemon & Lime flavors into a blend of our Bohemian pilsener and specially crafted Bavarian lager. These methods create a perfectly refreshing summer beverage which has a strong, slightly tart citrus aroma and flavor. This is the best summer brew we have ever made, and we hope that it becomes a part of all your summer traditions.

12 ounce bottle, drank right out of it, aromas of classic pilsner, hay, light musk with some limes thrown in. Flavors are classic pilsner with artifical lime juice. This did tatse better than a bud light lime.

The aroma is radlerish it seems to be slightly lemony but has a dirty funky quality. The appearance is golden with an average head. The taste is very refreshing with plenty of malt. The palate is smooth. Overall it’s nice.

Aurelius (3437) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - SEP 29, 2012
The beer smells a bit like Nair, or a home perm product. At times, I got whiffs of black pepper and breakfast sausage. Bad label, hazy golden oak color, thin white head, standard US longneck. Not bad, picnic fare. Muted lemon-lime flavors, not sweet. Light body, not too fizzy, some mineral water impressions in the finish. I get the feeling that this was a closeout sort of purchase by ABC. ABC, Bull Run.

PorterPounder (4609) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - SEP 21, 2012
Tallahassee, Fl - ABC Fine WIne & Spirits - 12 oz bottle. Medium golden pour, soft bubbly white head. Aroma is soapy and lemon-pledge like. Flavor has some artificial lemon, Lemonheads candy, a touch of sourness. Mouthfeel is slightly metallic. Just slightly refreshing.

An easy drinking radler. More traditional than most American versions. It is pretty heavy on the flavoring though, that could be toned town. Lots of lime.

umich03jm (898) - Allen Park, Michigan, USA - JUN 12, 2012
Pours a clear bright yellow color with a decent head that fades quickly. Lemon and lime aroma with a tiny amount of pale malt and grain. Taste is lots of lemon and lime that overpowers the malt a bit. Very smooth and refreshing though. Good summer beer for the right occasion. Certainly better than the awful Bud Light Lime.

rumproasts (1033) - Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA - MAY 26, 2012
golden with small head. lemon lime citrus notes are front and center in this puls. nice refreshing beer for a hot summer beer. not a beer snob’s beer, but good for the right occasion.

polomagnifico (1102) - Saginaw, Michigan, USA - MAY 10, 2012
Bottle. Aroma has notes of lemons, fruity pebbles, citrus and cereal malts. Medium gold hue with an average white head that mostly diminished and left little lace. Flavor is medium sweet and lightly bitter. Palate is light bodied and watery average. A very drinkable brew with a fruity pebbles aroma! Loved that one. I would probably never turn one down....unless it was like number 3 or four.
