Botte. Light pomegranate aroma with just the slight hint of beer. Clear ruby red color with a decent head intially. Sweet pomegranate flavor mixed with a light taste of stale beer. Like their Copa, not much beer taste despite being 60% beer.

Bottle. Strong lemon-lime aroma. Pale yellow color with minimal head. Initially sweet lemon-lime flavor followed by a distinct barley malt and light hops. Nice malty aftertaste. This is an above average Radler - unlike many others, this at least has a detectable beer flavor.

Bottle. Lemon and corn malt aroma. Golden yellow with small head.Slightly sour grainy malt flavor. Tastes like an average American macro light pale lager - there are plenty of US and Central American beers trying to cut in on the Corona market but this is the first European one I’ve seen, and once again, it’s definitely a better choice

12 oz bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. Good pils. Grassy, spicey, lightly yeasty aroma. Small, foamy, white head with decent retention and lacing. Golden hued body. Taste starts dry and grassy and then turns a bit bitter. Very dry mouth with fizzy carbonation.

Bottle. Lime and cachaca aroma. Hazy green yellow color with moderate head. Lime and cachaca flavor - just a hint of beer - essentially tastes like a mediocre caipirinha (obviously the point) - claims to be 70% beer but barely comes out. Another German alco-pop - tastes fine but really pushing the border of being a beer.

33 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and golden red with a fizzy/creamy pink head. Passion fruity sweet berry aroma. Flavour is much the same, slight watery. Has almost no beer flavour despite 60% being beer. Ends with a mild sulphorish note.

06/01 0.5 l can from Spar in Semriach. This turned out to be quite elusive a bit souther. It poured pale yellow body with medium bigger head. Fine aroma of lemon, flower and grass hops with just a bit malt. Flavor bitter of course, bit honeyish but ruined by the touch of metallicity. Oily textured with not too much carbonation. Finish is bittersweet and rather short. I expected more, but it is not bad as it is.

0.5l can courtesy of and shared with heavy who brought it from Austria (thanks!) Bright yellow-golden colour. Medium to big sized white head. A fine hoppy aroma, notes of lemon, dust and a touch of malt. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel, nice, but not flashy fruity maltiness, a very faint touch of tangerine. Woody bitterness, light, a bit blunt but nice hoppy taste. Light bitterish aftertaste. A very good commercial pils, better than pretty much every lager that’s imported here.
