16 oz can. A clean and clear appearance. Kinda forgot I was drinking a beer about halfway through this. It just gets more and more lemonade as it goes. Sweet and tart lemon juice, overpowers the rest. Soft watery grains come through late. Refreshing enough, and not as bad as I expected. Thanks for the can, Matt!

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours bright, clear light gold with a creamy white head. Aroma of lemony soda. Med minus body. Flavor is light lemon with some sweetness. Not dry; lemon bitter. A bit zesty. Good for what it is.

Sampled from 0.5 l can from local 'trinkgut', best before May 2018. Clear, straw yellow with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, a little sourish, moderately artificially fruity aroma of lemonade with a touch of grains. Moderately sweet, minimally sourish, artificially fruity taste of mainly lemonade with traces of grains, followed by a short, minimally bitter and a little tart finish. Thin body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Typical Radler.

16.9 oz can. Aroma is lemonade, lemon zest, Fun Dip Stix, faintly beery. Pours crystal clear golden with a one finger white head with decent retention. Taste is overly sweet and a tad tart from the lemonade. Crisp and refreshing with no flaws other than it being too sweet. Would taste pretty good in the hot sun.

Pours a frothy yellow from a can. Big citrus aroma, sort of a lemon grapefruit flavor. Okay beer.

Pours very clear, pale yellow. Small white head with not much consistancy. No lacing. Smell is intense, citrus ( lemon ) sweet, sugary, tad malt drips trough as well ( white bread ) Taste is cloyingly sweet on the background, but got enough aromatic's to compete and maintain a freshness vibe. The maltshows, as some white bready backbone that makes this a tad better than you'd expect. Still, it ends very sticky, sugary, which I really do not enjoy.

500 ml can into pint glass, canned on 4/8/2017. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy pale straw/yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lightly tart lemons, lemon peel, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, light pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of lemonade, pale malt, and earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart lemons, lemon peel, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, light pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, spicy hop bitterness and lemon tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart lemons, lemon peel, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of lemonade, pale malt, and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/tart/bitterness balance, and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Moderate increasing dryness from bitter/tartness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, crisp, fairly grainy/sticky, and lightly acidic balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 2.5%. Overall this is a delicious radler! All around nice robustness and balance of lemonade, pale malt, and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful for the low ABV, with perfectly balanced lemonade and pilsner beer profile. A very enjoyable offering, and great style example.

Pounder: Whole lemon nose, malt underneath. Clear yellow, thick head, good lace. Sweet lemon, mild grass and malt notes. Light body, easy carbonation. Very poundable, even a little beery. Perfect for watching a long sporting event without getting totally plowed.
