473ml can shared with my wife. Pours a slightly hazy straw colour with bits of pulp floating around and a small, fizzy, short lived, off-white head that fully dissipates. Sweet aroma of grapefruit, white sugar and grainy pale malt. Sweet flavour of pale malt, grapefruit, white sugar and white grape in a dry finish. Light body with a sticky texture and average carbonation. A little cloying, like a grapefruit soda.

16 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 3/8/2018. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge lightly tart ruby red grapefruit juice, citrus peel/zest, lemon, pear, white grape, red apple, cracker, white bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of fruit juice, moderate pale malt, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of huge lightly tart ruby red grapefruit juice, citrus peel/zest, lemon, pear, white grape, red apple, cracker, white bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate fruit tang/tartness; and light herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart ruby red grapefruit juice, citrus peel/zest, lemon, pear, white grape, red apple, cracker, white bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome robustness and balance of fruit juice, moderate pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/tartness balance, and no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tart/tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with very smooth, moderately grainy/acidic/tangy, and lightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.1%. Overall this is an awesome radler! All around great robustness and balance of fruit juice, moderate pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink, with the mellowly acidic/tangy/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Amazingly vibrant citrus/fruit juice flavors; with a solid pils malt backbone, and mild earthy hops. A really enjoyable offering, and amazing style example.

Pounder can, very clear pale yellow. Nose is all grapefruit juice. Taste is also all grapefruit. No bitterness, just good old sweet grapefruit juice. Goes down way too easy. A little bit nervous about the sugar in this one. There, you have it.

Can shared in Hackney - big thanks to dave. Pours clear yellow with a small, creamy white head. Great juicy aroma, fresh grapefruit juice, lemon. Light to medium sweet flavour with some white sugar, mild acidity, fresh lemon and grapefruit. Light bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Sugary finish with more grapefruit, a bit of raw sugar, mild tang. Quite solid. Just about sincere!

Can split at Bodney Heights, thanks to FLBH via Dave, 22/02/18. Lightly hazed pale golden with a decent off white head. Nose is red grapefruit, blood orange, sweet red citric shizzle. Taste comprises blood orange, red grapefruit, sweet licks, grass, redcurrant jelly, lemonade. Light bodied, fine carbonation, sweet close. Decent radler ... a touch overly sweet but a solid flavour profile.
