Radler

A Radler beer, originating from Germany, is a refreshing and light beverage that blends beer with a citrus-flavoured soda or juice, typically lemonade. The term “Radler” translates to “cyclist” in German, and this beer was purportedly created to satisfy the thirst of cyclists during a biking excursion. With a lower alcohol content compared to traditional beers, typically ranging from 2% to 4% ABV, Radler is favoured for its easy-drinking nature and suitability for casual consumption, particularly in warm weather.

Its flavour profile is characterised by a crisp and tangy taste, derived from the citrus elements, which complements the maltiness of the beer. The lemon or citrus infusion adds a zesty and invigorating twist, enhancing the overall drinking experience. Radler beers often boast a pale, hazy appearance, reminiscent of the lemonade or soda with which it is blended.
