Bottle at home, orange with a hint of pinkish stuff, small head, aroma is orange and grapefruit. Taste is orange, grapefruit, sweet, quite the lemonade taste, hint of wheat beer. Refreshing.

Huge, dense light-pinkish head over fully hazy pale orangeish pink beer, lively carbonated. Pink grapefruit smell, as in lemonade/soft drink, orange too. CO². Sweetish citrussy flavour; CO² again very obvious. Wheatslickness, but sticky backthroat, light and fizzy. Individual specs maybe not that bad, yet I don’t like it at all.

Can as a gift. Hazy pink/orange colour, white foam. Medium carbonation. Not rateable as a beer. Sweet with notes of grapefruit and citrus. Lots of sugar and sweeteners. Only some notes from witbier. Not good at all. Even not as lemonade.

07/06/2015 @home, can I got from a colleague. I decided not to spoil a glass on this one so I drank directly from the can. Yes it’s fruity, thirstquenching but damn too hard to find the beer. STOP THIS.

Bottle @ home, bought @ Coop, Culemborg. Drank straight from the bottle. Grapefruit aroma with a touch of orange. Taste is sweet with a hint of wheat. Boring, sweet and bland. Another radler concoction which we have too many of already

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus and Ansjelaah. Slightly hazy pale pinkish ’pomelo’ color, small white head. Smells and tastes like a lemonade, Fanta with a twist. Not a bad thirstquencer, but not a beer.

Bottle @ benzai. Weird hazy salmon colour with no real head. Smells pomelo, grapefruit, fruity, orange, soda, waterijsjes. Tastes fruity, bitter, pomelo. Slightly underwhelming fruit taste. Thin body, soft carbo.

I remember that when I started keeping track of the beers I tasted and wanted to taste as many different ones as possible, almost fifteen years ago, the Belgian market was flooded with artificially sweet fruit beers based on witbier - and I especially remember how much this annoyed me. Today, these fruit-witbiers have fortunately decreased, but now we are confronted with one Radler after another. I sincerely hope this marketing trend will come to a stop as soon as possible. This one has a cloudy salmon pink colour, not unlike fresh pink grapefruit juice, under a creamy, moussy, lacing, snow white head. Strongly smells of Fanta Pomelo or something alike, artificial pink grapefruit and blood orange impressions, lemonade-like ascorbic acid, faint suggestion of tomato juice, with only a very, very faint hint of grains underneath, only detectable at higher temperature (at which it is certainly not intended to be consumed). Tastes exactly like Fanta or another industrial citrus lemonade, with sharp, minerally carbonation, sugary sweetness immediately sticking to the teeth (something I utterly detest) and artificial ascorbic acidity; the sugary sweetness dominates throughout as well as the lemonade-like artificial acidity, I hardly get any malts, let alone hops; basically nothing else happens after the first impression. I find the Maes Radlers a bit better, but I don’t care for these new ’beers’ at all. On to the next.

330 ml. can @ home. Stylishly designed, AB-InBEv continues venturing on in the believe that Radler is the future of beer in Belgium. All bets are off I suppose. Pours a hazy milky grapefruit with a pretty decent smallish egg-white head. Nose is this very odd chemical citrus nose, like children’s medication & lots of artificial sweeteners, odd,… Taste is this weird touch watery grapefruit with huge amounts of sugar, it does taste of citrus fruits but with a huge amount of white sugar, light aspirin, touch hay, aspirin,…. Sugar & artificial sweetener dominate to the point that artificial sweeteners take over the show, rather bland, citrus has this weird artificial & sweet character,… Body is like citrus juice, grapefruit dominated thickened by artificial sweetener,… Odd stuff, I actually quite liked the Lemon & Lime Radler but this one is odd,… Not getting it. Acceptable ‘though I suppose. The emphasis & use of the world natural already struck me odd when I saw it on the label, having drank this, all I can say is who are you kidding? Yes there is stuff in here that you can probably find in nature but it isn’t just citrus fruit, if you catch my drift,...
