Keg at CBJ. Slightly hazy opaque gold. Foamy white head. Aroma has citrus sourness with a vinous edge. Flavourwise it's sour with an underlying lemonade sweetness. Light. Thin to slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice. Super Shandy.

Quite clean, dry, not overly sweet, lots of zesty citrus. Zezzzty. Surprisingly bitter in general. Honestly, could be a little sweeter! Enjoyable overall, certainly.

Tap at craft beer junction. A light hazed golden orange coloured pour with a a fine white head. Aroma is super nice sharp, tart lemon, shurbet, lime, passion fruit.. Palate is light tart, powdery carbonation. Chalky, moderate carbonation. Flavour is vibrant citrus, passion fruit, mango. Lovely.

Keg at Craft Beer Junction, 04/03/2026.
Full strength Radler - WTF.
Nose is lemonade, grass, straw, pale malts.
Taste comprises lemon rind, straw, sugars.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Okay refresher but not a Radler ... half the ABV ... it's just a pale with lemonade whacked in FFS!

440ml can. Clear golden, small white head. Aroma of lemon and lime. Taste is lemon and lime, very zesty, some pale bready malts, light hop bitterness with a sort of sharp citric finish. Light-medium bodied.
The way this is described makes it sound like a normal IPA with lemon juice added, but it really does taste like an actual Radler. I didn't think it was very hoppy either (not a bad thing, considering the style).

Can from the brewery. Pours lightly hazy yellow gold with a short-lived thin white head. Aromas of lemon and bread. Taste is zingy lemon and grapefruit. Refreshing!

Can from Great Grog. Golden body with a very light haze and a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lemon and lime. Flavour of grapefruit and lemon. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Sharp and refreshing without being too tart.

Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - cloudy yellow and a fluffy white head.
Nose - dank and bready, with orange and then a bright note of lemon zest.
Taste - dank, bitter orange and grassy, then zesty with some malt backdrop.
Palate - light to medium bodied, bitter and zesty finish.
Overall - good.
