This Radler is a light 4.2%. Radler style beer is traditionally a beer and lemonade mix. I believe that this tradition was started in Germany which is where I had a Radler done this way and it was delicious.
I got these beers because it is coming up to summer and I was wanting something crisp, light and easy to drink. This beer did not live up to expectations. It is light and has lemon and lime flavours but it just does not work.
I will not be buying these again and I do not suggest anyone else does. In saying that I'm still going to drink all six of them because I know one should not waste beer.

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteRadler is the German word for Cyclist. It was explained to me that this type of drink was meant to refresh on a hot summer's day yet leave you sober enough to continue your cycle. The radlers I've had in Germany are usually around 2.5% alcohol so 4.2% is quite high. Perhaps this had something to do with the unpleasant taste?
Cheers,
Hayden
