Can. Hazy yellow body wit a small white head. Aroma is quite strong lime, coriander and soap. Flavor is dominated by the same slightly artificial lime/coriander/soapy thing. Not much hoppy bitterness here, but after a while the aftertaste feels a bit harsh like lime/lemon peel kinda harsh. Body becomes a bit thin and watery after a few sips. Could easily have been a light and refreshing blond with some lemon flavor, but this is simply too much and tastes more like a soapy Radler than blonde. Way to unbalanced, would not by again.

Can. Unclear orange golden body with a fluffy, lacing white head. Aroma has mild citric fruit and hint of grapefruit. Flavor is light, pale malt, some citric fruit and moderate bitterness. Medium to light bodied and rather short aftertaste. Nothing outstanding, but a drinkable blond that have some extra hops, not much but it gives a certain fruitiness to the beer.

Can (from Rema 1000 Hesseng). Hazy orange colour with a mediumsized white fluffy head, which settles and leaves some slight and vanishing lace. Aroma is grapefruits, some sugary and mild parfumed soapy tones. Flavour is grapefruits, some sugary and mild tartish tones. Artificial, but not the dumbest or worst radler in the Nordic countries...
