The secret of a good Radler is in the balance between bitter and sweet. That is precisely why we have completely brewed our Hertog Jan Bastaard. In addition to freshly sour lemons, we also opted for a special ingredient, namely pungent ginger. We have carefully combined the naturally brewed fruit lemonade with our Pilsener. You get a Bastard by mixing this beer and lemonade.

Bottle in Ultrech hotel room. A clear pale gold coloured pour with a fading white head. Aroma is spicy citrus, sugary, dull citrus, ginger. Brown sugars. Palate is semi sweet sticky, moderate carbonation. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, sugary, spicy lemon rind, artificial flavours. Not terrible.

Small white head over clear golden beer. Ginger obvious in the nose, rather sweet; lemon/lemonade ("Sprite") after some time. Again sweet/ish, white lemonade flavour. More lemonade than beer. Bit spritzy, light body, sugary slick. As said, lemonade. 5/4/5/3/9

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks kerenmk. Golden. Aroma and flavor of cheap Sprite imitation, a bit of graininess, artificial sweetener, bitterish note in the finish, light-bodied, sticky. Not good.

Shared from bottle at puttetjes’. Massive thanks to puttetjes. Clear pale golden with almost no head but a firm fizz going on. Sweet lemonade and ginger, some cardboard juice to top things off. Quite sweet. Under medium body, bit malty. Average carbonation. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hertog Jan Bastaard Gember en Citroen on 30 Dec 2017 at 12:30 - Score: 6 --- Beer merged from original tick of Bastaard Gember en Citroen (2017) on 30 Dec 2017 at 12:30 - Score: 6

300ml bottle. Pours with a clear golden color with a small white head. Similar to the apple Shady. Nose is a little bit better than the other one. More citrus, some more sweet apples. Taste is more interesting becaus of the ginger. A soft spicy note.Fruity kemon with some slightly bitter notes. Its ok.

Bottle @ home. Doesn’t differ very much from other radlers. Maybe the ginger makes it a bit more soapy, but that might be prejudice too. Not bad. Prefer this one over the apple one.
