Bottle in Australia. I really struggled with this concept. I understand radler to be a lager best drank outdoors, in the sun after/during a bike ride. I was doing none of things and instead drank it on a couch, indoors on a pretty chilly evening. And I found the overt lemon additive very unsatisfying.

(On tap) Clear, golden with a small, white head. Fairly fresh citrus aroma. Bit thin in body with sweet - and somewhat chemical - citrus notes. Dry, somewhat sulphurous and chemical in the finish. Drinkable though. 250108

Bottle. Clear golden with a medium, bubbly, quickly-diminishing white head. Aroma is of lemon and lime - smells to me quite similar to Sprite. Very sweet, artificial, lemon and lime flavor with faint hints of malt. Doesn’t taste like beer at all. Light-bodied. Tastes like a soda, and not a good-tasting one. Yuck.

Bottled. Clear golden, no head. Orangey lemonade aroma. Despite it’s gravity it simply tastes of marmelady lemonade, seville orange/Old English style. Too sweet, medium bodied, no bitterness. I find the whole concept of full strength Radler pretty revolting. A Radler is a beer substitute for drivers, while this is a bleeding alco-pop in disguise. I’m disgusted!
