Herrn Radler Lemon Brew

$1.99, Michaels, Marietta, GA, USA.

Interesting, but not very good. 2.7% ABV according to the label.

Nice looking pour with lemon yellow colored pour and plenty of carbonation. Nice head and some lacing, looks promising.

Dreadfully weak aroma, taste and body. Reminds me of what it basically is – an English lager shandy. Virtually no alcohol detectable and a rather plastic, artifical taste – not even as good as a Shandy Bass in a can from the late 70’s! A little smoke in there too? Sweet malts and some honey, but no lemon. I think this is because in Europe “lemonade” means Sprite/7-Up NOT “lemon”.

I dunno, I suppose it is what it is. No more no less. Not really a beer, more of a kids drink. Drinkability is OK if it’s 100+ degrees and you don’t really fancy a beer!
