Leighton Profile

Great stuff. Nice piney character, decent bitterness, sun-kissed pale malts, a little biscuit, white grape, lemon rind, grapefruit. Balanced overall. Very tasty.

For a cheap Aldi knock-off, it’s fine. Some simple cereal, mild sweetness, pale biscuits, faint bitter hay. Drinks fine.

7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Pretty drinkable. Has some sun-baked malts, piney hops, crackers, citrus peel, toasted grains. OK balance. Low intensive but it’s fine overall.

Naturradler from Warsteiner

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8

Temps around 30C today so this is hitting the spot. Pleasantly sweet. A little more citric lemony zip would really put this over the top but as it is, it’s a pretty classic and highly drinkable radler.

Drinks very easy. Melli mango vibes. Some citrusy hops, supportive and clean pale malts, mild rindy bitterness, a soft piney accent. Sound.

9.1/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 9 Overall 9.5

This is gorgeous stuff. Stunningly clean, some nice crispy green apple, low levels of funk, nips of fresh grass, lightly bitter skins. Dry finish, a whisper of apple juice. Nip of salinity. Delightful.
