Known as the Cyclists’ Thirst Quencher: After World War I, bicycle riding became popular in Germany. A local innkeeper opened his own watering hole and arranged for a bike trail through a forest from Munich to his Alpine meadow, only to find some 13,000 had descended upon his establishment and almost depleted his fine beer. Quick thinking led him to mix a stock of lemon soda with his remaining beer and he called it Radlermass (Radler means cyclist in German, Mass means a litre of beer), which became a wonderful refreshing summer drink.

    LCBO Outlet #217 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Queen’s Quay) 473ml can
    4.8% ABV
    $2.50
    The beer poured a translucent medium gold with a generous white head. The aroma was all lemon, and fake lemon at that. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was very lemony with some grainy malt mixed in. This would be quite refreshing if the taste was better.

    Yellow fizzy liquid, with little head that disappated quickly. Smells and tastes fruity...can taste the lemonade. A great summer thirst quencher that I will likely buy again because of that. Not for introspective beer moments. This is an 'after grass-cutting' beer.

    Can from the brewery store. Poured a pale yellowish liquid into the pilzen flute. Soft 1 finger white cap vanishes quickly but does leave a trace of lace. Aroma is as expected, a combination of citrus juice and extract malt dexrtins. Flavor follows aroma - tastes like an uninspired mixture of reconstituted fruit juice and malt extract beer...no off tastes...quenching... but certainly uninspired...tastes like something thrown together quickly to provide a mass market summer thingamajig for macro beer consumers to natter over on cottage decks...like the segrams coolers they make. If this is an indicator of what we can expect from new Brick leadership, it looks like Brick will be plunging further into mass market beverage mediocrity. At 2.75 for a 475ml can this is a cheap summer drink...unfortunately it tastes cheap as well. Or perhaps my mistake was tasting this after a fresh Paulaner hefeweiss natrube.
