A water colored "beer" with a disappearing white head. The aroma is primarily of citrus, but also with some notes of malt - and so is the flavor, while the end is dry and the body is thin.

Pour clear pale yellow, with a large and quickly disappearing white head. Aroma is very lemony, with a malty aftertaste. Taste is very sweet, with a slight bitter finish. Watery body, with a semi-flat carbonation. Don’t know if this can be served cold enough to be refreshing enough to enjoy.

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Im Glas siehts sehr fein aus. Schöne feinporige Krone, und eine hell leuchtende Farbe. Der Geruchstest fällt sehr Radlertypisch aus. Der Antrunk ist ebenfalls sortentypisch, nur dass der Nachgeschmack wesentlich herber ausfällt als andere Kollegen. Schmeckt an sich nicht übel, aber der komisch herbe, aufdringliche Nachgeschmack stört doch ein wenig.

Bottle with swing-top, by 19.08.12. Yes, it’s really blue glass. Nose is sweet lemon-lime powdered drink mix. Clear light yellow-golden with a loud, fizzy white head. Taste is sweet but not cloying, and fades a little with time; lemon is the principal here but not dominant, and the light-bodied Pils underneath is relatively good. One of the better Radler I’ve had.

Crap. (This beer rating was imported from FB and unfortunately lacks any further comments.)

Overall not bad. Refreshing, lemony. citrus and plae malt make it easy to drink but a general radler, not extraordinary

Bottle. Pours a clear and very pale yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is malt, lemon and some vegetables. The flavor is close to the nose with some additional notes of acidity. The palate is dry with some sweetness. Overall a boring beer.

Pours pale yellow with a white head. Aroma is malt and clean citrus. Flavour is light malt, clean citrus and soap.

First Snowfall of the Season tasting in Odense. Pale golden with a small white head. Aroma of artificial lemon and sour lemon drops. Lemonade and dusty malt in the flavour. But at least the bottle is blue
