Sweet citrus and malt aromas. Fresh

Wie deutsche Radler. Nur besser

When in search for a shandy, this is definitely satisfying!

Friday is for Flying Fish, so the saying goes. And on good Friday none the less, sadly this beer was not that good. Far too sweet, not a fan of the 'pressed lemon'. Reasonably refreshing is it's only redeeming feature.

Mukavan hedelmäinen ja lämmin sitruunalla maustettu olut. Maussa voisi olla enemmänkin luonnetta.

Ei maistu erityisemmin oluelle, mutta hyvää on!

Translucent gold beer with diplomatic carbonation produces a clean white, small-bubbled head that climbs one finger high. Retention lasts for good time and maintains a neat lace ring and gossamer haze on the top. The scent is very Radler-like: sweet lemonade with a sugary twist. As if I also spotted distant cane sugar but having checked the details, the only sugar is sucrose which is the same as saccharose which is the same as table sugar. Malt is fiercely fenced by lemonade and, thus, almost unreachable. The taste receptors get a medley of lemonade and beery components: to be more specific, I detect sweet lemon juice, sugar, a bit of pale malt and a weedy hoppy twist in the background. More like a Radler than a Fruit Beer. The body is thin. The finish elevates both the malty and hoppy parameters slightly higher while the lemon and lemonade part shrinks. Especially the sweetness reduces considerably toward the end. The aftertaste is living by the light, shining in the night. The mouthfeel is thin, light-juicy, still somewhat soft-drink-like and remotely dank. It's refreshing and balanced what comes to the beery and juicy poles. Not bad given the lousy supply in the supermarket.
