Poured from the tap. Hazy yellow with small white head. Lots of sweet lemon and mandarin. Simple, nice for the summer.

Foggy orange body and modest foam. Soft fresh mandarin and some lemon, vaguely, on the nose. Flavour is chewy mandarin, slight lemon. Soda mouthfeel. Okay, but nothing really stands out.

Draft - Sweet Mandarin with a touch of ginger. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Bright Mandarin, touch of aspirin and a sticky orange finish.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours an opaque cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of sweet lemon and orangey juice. Flavour is along the same lines, drinking like a lemon orange juice, with medium sweetness (for a radler) and light citric tartness. Pleasant and nice on a hot day.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy orange-blond color. Not too sweet and with the right amount of acidity, light, with delicate beer base. Refreshing. More juice than beer, obviously. But we’ll made.

Draught @ Boxcar. This has decent body and underlying beer character, but the citrus is heavy-handed and a bit clashy. Not sure it meets the poundability test for a summer seasonal radler.
