Slightly hazy golden and light copper coloured body with a faint off-white head that fades immediately like a soda. Aroma of throw up, barf, puke, whatever you want to call it - upchuck - not good, period. Perhaps some citrus or funk, but this is nasty and reminiscent of something gone very bad. Light-bodied; Sharp funky flavour of citrus, barf, yeast, bread and a touch of wheat and salt. Aftertaste is funky as well, but the easy drinking qualities of a real german radler are not present, the citrus isn’t, and worst off - the horrible funky fake sugar and puke flavours dominate throughout. Overall, this is best not sampling, for sure - this is not a good beer, nor a good option for people who either love or hate radlers or everyone in between, it’s that bad. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 26-November-2016 for US$1,79 sampled at home in Washington on 18-December-2016.

Bottle. Hazy straw color, coca cola head. Big floral aroma on a background of grapefruit. Taste is sweet, floral, with more grapefruit, lightly earthy finish. Nice variation on a theme.

Bot. Tastes a lot like a gose. Yes, I can tell its a radler by its very friendly attributes, but I must say it like Yma Sumac, no, not like the sumac in the yard but eh sumac in the voice, not bad for a gose nor radler, go figger. Good stuff.

Lots of grapefruit and some peel. Quite sour and astringent. Light golden pour with ok head. Notbmy favorite radler. Hibiscus doesn’t do much for this. Botttle.
