*The Radler (literally "cyclist", which refers to its reputation as popular sports drink) is a beer-based mixed drink with a long history in German-speaking regions. Consisting of a fifty-fifty or sixty-forty mixture of various types of beer and German-style soda pop or lemonade. Normally called a Shandy in the States or UK.
Poured into a Sam Adams pint glass.
Appearance: A clearish faint yellow tint, not hazy. Quickly dissipating head. Slight tracing.
Smell: More than a hint of lemon, mild citrus with a crisp clean nose. Not overwhelming.
Sour candy.
Taste: A bit more complex than expected, you can taste the lemony citrus flavors but was
hoping for a little more finish. The carbonation is right and consistent with a soda. The
flavors disappears rather quickly starting out tart and leaving a slightly sour end.
Overall: Solid summer beer, A good addition to the Summer variety pack. Truly drinkable
beer for a hot and humid summer day.
Serving type: bottle
Chin chin!
