1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
(Can 32,3 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Clear yellowish golden with a white head. Weirdly unclean citrusy aroma. Thin body with sugary citrus notes, but doesn’t really appear artificial - just very sweet. A different but quite decent low alcohol Radler. 030608
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Can. Effervescent dark gold with lots of bubbles but no head. Sweet candylike aroma of a Fresca or other artificial "random" citrus soda with lots of citric acids. Has a slight barley taste at the end of the soft, fizzy palate. Thin, but not prickly. Sugary. Very sweet and sugary but refreshing. It’s pretty much a pop with a light hint of unmalted barley at the finish.
0.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
Dull tan. Big bubbles. No head. Dish soap lemon aroma. Lots of sugar. Lemony and sticky. I’ll give credit though - unlike Anglia Shandy this one actually has a tiny bit of beer character. Not much, just a shade of malt on the tongue, but a tiny bit of beer character nonetheless.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Can. A light golden beer with no head. The aroma is sweet like a sodapop, while the flavor is very sweet - artificially. Very shandy like.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
32.3 cL bottle. Clear and golden yellow with a fully diminished head. Solid lime and spiced fruity aroma. Very sweet sodapop closer to a RTD than a beer. Ends sweet and lime citric.
0.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
So the fact it contains less than 1% ABV means we can still call this a beer. I jolly well think its a shandy, and a poor one at that. While I haven’t had a homemande shandy for a while I do recall they are somewhat refreshing. Too much water, sugar, citric acid, flavouring, colour, carbon dioxide, ascorbic acid and stabilizer for me I’m afraid.

Blond color, the head disappears quickly. Funky aroma, some artificial pink grapefruit too. Medium sweet drink, with some of the lemonade flavor and some of the beer. Plain.
