Common descriptors are
Invented out of desperation by an innkeeper named Kugler. Kuger’s Inn was invaded by thousands of thirsty bicyclists demanding more beer than he had in stock. But desperation lead to an invention type moment. Herr Kugler decided to mix the beer and excess lemon soda he had on hand 50/50. The resulting liquid tasted great and Kugler informed the bicyclists he was doing them a favor because the milder liquid would enable them to stay upright on their bikes. This beer was so popular it became a permanent addition to the Bavarian beer scene. Capital Radler; since our Brewmaster prefers lemon lime soda; is a blend of lemon lime soda and lager beer. The resulting liquid is very pleasant and refreshing. Sweet with a citrusy malty character and enough bittering to make it very clean. Perfect before, during or after any activity involving sweat.
