Can from Tienda de la Cerveza. Nose is lots of grapefruit, orange. Taste is bitter grapefruit, hoppy finish. I am a sucker for grapefruit radlers and this is a good one!

355ml can. Hazy, bright, pink-ish orangey golden colour with small, frothy, rapidly diminishing, white head. Citrusy fruity aroma, notes of grapefruit. Taste is sweet-ish and tart-ish, citrusy fruity, slightly bitter, notes of grapefruit, widely disguised, minimally grainy Lager basis. More Radler (and beer) and less much lemonade than e.g. Stiegl's equivalent, well embedded grapefruit profile.

Cloudy pink orange colour, small fizzy white head, disappears within seconds. Aroma orange, grapefruit, lemonade, taste light heavy sweet and slightly bitter, grapefruit, orange peel. Orange peel and pith stronger in aftertaste which makes this radler rather enjoyable, light body, sticky texture, lively carbonation, actually quite nice (for a radler).

12 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours murky golden orange color with a small foamy white head with poor retention, that reduces to nothing pretty quickly. No lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Okay appearance. Aromas of lightly tart grapefruit juice, citrus peel, cracker, white bread, and light herbal/grass. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of grapefruit juice, pale malt, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart grapefruit juice, citrus peel, cracker, white bread, and light herbal/grass. Light herbal/grassy/citrus peel bitterness and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart grapefruit juice, citrus peel, cracker, white bread, and light herbal/grass on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of grapefruit juice, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitter/tartness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Lightly increasing dryness from fruit tang/tartness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth and moderately grainy/acidic balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.5%. Overall this is a pretty good radler. All around good robustness and balance of grapefruit juice, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink; with the mildly tart/bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful for the ABV. Great balance of grapefruit juice and pale lager flavors. A nicely enjoyable offering, and good style example.

Can on the train. Pours hazy golden, nose is grapefruit, toffee, taste is basically grapefruit juice, tart, dry. Bit like rocket fuel for leisure time. --- Beer merged from original tick of Tricycle Grapefruit Radler on 11 Sep 2016 at 18:21 - Score: 6. Original review text: Can on the train.

Can. Lightly funky grapefruit peel and toffee malt aroma. Murky golden yellow with moderate head. Moderately sweet-sour grapefruit juice, toffee malt, and lightly bitter straw flavor. Nice grapefruit flavor but not much beer.

Can from The Beerhive. Murky orange/red body with no head or lacing. Aroma of tomato juice, lychee and grapefruit. Flavour of sherbet, blood orange and cloudy lemonade. Thin body with a spritzy mouthfeel. Lively fizz. Sharp and tangy. Quite full on but I liked this more and more as it went on.
