Got this pounder can from vintage. Smells very lemony. Looks like slightly hazy lager. Nice big head. Taste is quaff-able lemonade. Not bad, goes down fairly easy. Yes, friendly, lightweight and fun. Not much beer in the taste of this stuff. Typical sweeter radler shandy. Yes, fru fru fruity lemon beer. Quite refreshing, just like lemonade, thank you. Plesant all round beer for those who don't like the taste of beer, heheheh. Not bad, better than expected.

Lightly hazy, light golden-yellow colour with a big white cap for a Radler. Extremely lemony aromas with the sourness but also those sugar lemon notes found lozenges. The taste is more on the natural side of things. Not as crazy on the lemon. Seems like some sweetness added to it like honey. At least not too syrupy. Nothing really too bad here if you like lemon candies. At least refreshing.

Can from Trader Joe's in Folsom, CA. Pours translucent light gold with a white head. Lemonade aroma. Med minus body. Flavor is sweetish lemon - so lemonade. Somehow it doesn't "sparkle" like most radlers I've had, but it will quench thirst.

500ml can shared with my wife. Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow with a medium, fizzy, short lived, white head that fully dissipates. Sweet aroma of grainy pale malt and lemonade. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, lemon, orange and sugar with a dry, slightly sour finish. Light body with a sticky texture and average carbonation. Refreshing, but too sweet. Not my thing.

500 ml can into pint glass, canned on 4/23/2018. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lightly tart lemon/orange juice, lime, citrus zest, wheat, cracker, white bread/sugar, and light herbal/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of lemonade, pale malt, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart lemon/orange juice, lime, citrus zest, cracker, white bread/sugar, and light herbal/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal/grassy/spicy bitterness and lemon tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lightly tart lemon/orange juice, lime, citrus zest, wheat, cracker, white bread/sugar, and light herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of lemonade, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness and fruit tartness balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness, tart/tangy citrus, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/tangy/acidic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3%. Overall this is an excellent radler! All around great robustness and balance of lemonade, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Extremely vibrant lemonade flavors, with great pilsner malt presence/balance, and mild earthy hops. A very enjoyable offering and spot on style example. One of the better ones I have had in the style.
