Perfect for any summer day, Samuel Adams® Porch Rocker was inspired by traditional Bavarian Radlers that mix beer with German-style lemonade. For our bright and citrusy Radler, we blended a Helles beer with lemon for a fresh-squeezed lemon taste, effervescent sweetness, and slightly tart, refreshing finish. A light malt character and hint of hops balance out this summer brew.

On tap at T-Bones. Appearance is clear yellow with greenish tinge, nice sparkle, finger-width white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is pilsner malts and light fruit. Taste is strong lemon with a background malt backbone. Palate is light bodied with thin texture, lively carbonation and sweet over mildly tart lemon finish. Overall, not much in the way of complexity but it is good for what it is--a light, refreshing brew for a hot summer afternoon on the porch.

Bottle from Franks. Clear yellow coloured. Lemoney, light malty. Little shandy like. Poor all around.

Eloquent taste that reminders the drinker of a hefeweizen with a sightly altered palate and distinct notes of lemon. Little bit of a salt flavor, kind of like a really mild gose beer. Good beer.

Ugh. Mediocre lager mixed with bad canned diet lemonade. Didn’t expect a radler from Sam Adams to taste this artificial. Sickly sweet. Smells bearable but it’s a lie. Avoid.

12 oz. bottle. Best before NOV ticked on the side of label. Slightly hazy golden color. Aroma is artificial lemonade. Even for a radler, this is not easy to drink. Heavy on the lemonade and reminds me of a Country Time lemonade powder mix with a shot of a bad blonde ale. Pretty gross overall. To be fair, I hate radlers to begin with and this doesn’t help my opinion of them.

12 ounce bottle into signature pint glass, best before 12/2015. Pours crystal clear golden straw color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lightly tart lemonade, lemon peel, wheat, cracker, biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of lemonade, pale malt, and light earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of lightly tart lemonade, lemon peel, wheat, cracker, biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light herbal bitterness and fruit tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemonade, lemon peel, wheat, cracker, biscuit, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Very nice robustness and balance of lemonade, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitter/tartness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness. Medium-high carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly creamy/grainy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Very clean on lager flavors with zero yeast ester notes present. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a very nice Radler style! All around nice robustness and balance of lemonade, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. This had a really nice presence of the Helles beer, vs other Radlers I’ve had in the past. A very enjoyable offering.
