Bottle. Aroma of citrus lemonade. Sugary taste of citrus, sugar and some malt. Not really good.

Pours a hazy pale yellow color, topped with a medium frothy white head. Aroma is sweet and lemony. Similar is the taste. Sweet, a bit sugary with some lemony presence and a bit of citric feel. Not bad for a radler.

KRS 131214. Yellow colour with a white head. Aroma is citrus, orange , malt. Flavour is citrus, malt, orange, fruit. OK radler.

The big breweries of the Low Countries are apparently attempting to popularize the old German Radler concept nowadays, which I am not a fan of to say the least - and the name Amstel does not sound promising either. Thin, off-white, loose and unstable head, cloudy lemon yellow colour with vague greenish hue and clear fizz. Expected lemonade aroma, ascorbic acid, tons of white sugar, lemon extract, a weakly chalky touch, and perhaps a very faint suggestion of grains underneath, but too weak to be described in more detail. Sugary sweet onset paired with the same artificial lemonade-like citrus effect you’ll find in a can of Fanta, but with slightly less fizzy carbonation; ascorbic acid abounding, again that very weak suggestion of grains underneath and a faint, but notable hint of bitterishness in the finish, I suppose an echo of the hops combined with something vaguely chemical; needless to say, the sugary sweetness sticks to the teeth, mouth and throat. Quite okay as a soda pop, like the other mass-produced Radlers, and that’s about it. Not the most off-putting ’beer’ I ever had, just not suitable for anyone looking for a refreshing beer. Very suitable for anyone looking for a refreshing lemonade, though.
