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.

[backlog]Bottle. Very sweet. I started rating my beers with Untappd and a few basic notes. Now I want to rate them on ratebeer. So my rating sometimes lack some information. Just ignore it, it is for my personal statistics. Untappd-Rating 1.5/5

From a 0.5 l can courtesy of Marko (thanks!). It poured clear pale golden body with a small head. Artificial sweet lemony aroma, so typical for such crappy "pre-hazy" radlers. Awful artificial flavor, some beer actually felt in here, grainy and papery, mixed with artificial bitterness that was supposed to be a bit sweet, but turning fast into ugly, unbearable finish. Couldn’t drink it! This one bottomed even other crappy ones from the other day.
