From a 500ml bottle on 6/3/2012. Pours a clear golden with a big head. Has a very mild fruity, malty nose. The flavour is sweet citrus and stone fruits, with not much else but some slight balancing hops. A passable summer quaffer but quite unremarkable.

(Bottle) Looks great: pours clear golden with good big white head. Aroma is sweets / candy with a hint of lemon - pleasant enough but rather artificial. Light body with lots of carbonation. Flavour is overall rather thin and attenuated. It is mainly grainy malts and sweetness (candy, hint of pear-drops). The finish loses some of the sweetness and maybe there is slightest hint of bitterness. Overall it’s thin, uninteresting and insipid, but could have it’s place matched to spicy Asian food or quaffing on a hot day.

Some chutzpah calling it "sparkling ale" after appropriating "radler". Bottle. Clear gold with a white head. Aroma of oranges, peaches, grass. Taste is sweet and grainy with some fruit. Dries out a little at the end with no particular bitterness.
