Bottle. It’s a clear, pale yellow beer with a small, white head. Citrus, hints of hoppy fruityness and maybe a note of pils in the aroma. The flavor has lemon juice, grains and bitterness, leading to a short finish with some bitterness. Most of all it’s a citrusy drink. Thin body. Ok, so it’s quenching, but it’s not even a very good radler. No off-flavors though. (090520)

Bottle, 2.5%. Very pale yellow colour. Small semi-stable white head. The flavour is of lemonade, ending drily. Not like aspartam, but less sweet than some Radlers which is good.

Lemonade aroma and flavor. I can’t taste any beery flavors. No alcohol, no hops, no malt, no nothing. Just lemonade. Nice lemonade.
