Can from the lcbo. Pours a clear amber with reddish hues. Aroma is apple and grape juice. Mouth feel is fine, carb is refreshing. Finish is exactly like juice. Sweet, but not cloying. There are no semblance of beer here. This tastes and drinks exactly like sparkling fruit punch.

First beer in five days, thanks COVID. Easing back into it with something light and refreshing.

Lots of fresh raspberry but not a lot of outside character, like beer character for example. Pink pour with good head. Sweet and sour end. Can.

Jammy sweet raspberry. Clear orange with a decent white head. Sweet raspberry and not much else.

473ml can shared with my wife. Pours a clear amber-pink with a medium, fizzy, short lived, off-white head that fully dissipates. Sweet aroma of raspberry, sugar, apple juice and grainy malt in the far background. Sweet fruity flavour of apple juice, raspberry, sugar, faint lemon and grainy malt in a slight tart finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and lively carbonation. Too sweet for me, but refreshing. More of a light, watered down fruit beer than a radler.

16 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 2/15/2019. Pours slightly hazy pale golden/yellow, light pink/orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy red raspberries, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, pear, melon, red apple, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of raspberries, lemon, apples, moderate pale malts, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy red raspberries, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, pear, melon, red apple, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy raspberries, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, pear, melon, red apple, cracker, white bread, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of raspberries, lemon, apples, moderate pale malts, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no yeasty notes present. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness, tart/tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and sticky/acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 2.5%. Overall this is an excellent radler. All around great robustness and balance of raspberries, lemon, apples, moderate pale malts, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink; with the mellowly bitter/tart/tangy/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome balance between juicy/jammy fruit, and clean pale lager flavors; with nice earthy hop presence/balance for the style. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive style example. Will be perfect for summer.

Pours a clean golden-peach colour with a big white cap, a pink hue, long lasting, fluffy, almost creamy with spots of lacing. Raspberry nose is pretty present with strawberry, lemon juice hints. You can feel the tart. The taste shows rusty water base with very light berry notes and even milder beer background. Looks great, smells good, but the rest is not really living it up. Too bad they have to add sugar (listed as third ingredient) with all of the fruit juices already added to the beer to make this radler.
