Barefoot Radler

[King Brown]

As everyone already stated a radler is just a premixed shandy, I think the name is German they sell them everywhere. In most of the beer halls in munich you can even order them by the Litre...

You probably were just expecting a beer, not a shandy, like when my brother when he ordered bulmers thinking it was beer and not a cider, and said it was revolting!

thats the point. I can imagine how an Aussie feels when he orders a radler in Munich, just expecting to get a beer. Must be similar to the feeling a German has when he gets Vegemite for breakfast, expecting that would be a marmelade

Gees, but a Radler here is nothing like a Shandy, my wife has them all the time (shandies) and that's 1 part beer 2 parts lemonade. The Radlers ( here in Aus) in the bottle taste nothing like that :icon_vomit: .

I thought a shandie was half and half? SWMBO is on Lite Shandies.

Haven't tried the one here, but having a taste of SWMBO's Radler in Munich and it tasted pretty close to a shandy, but it didnt look as pale, was about the same colour as a pilsner from memory, they might be a little lighter on the lemonade being Germans

OT has anyone seen the posters for the new Cruiser beers?...

Nice work around the alcopop tax...

My first and only experience of this beverage was with fish and chips. I thought someone had put the wrong label on the bottle, it was like the cheapest fake lime flavoured soft drink from go-lo. I doubt there was a drop of beer in it. What a dissappointment.

I'd rather drink a VB

I was at a bbq recently where the choice was VB or Miller Chill.

Oh, there was one other, which was what I chose.

Water.

I don't suppose it crossed anyone elses minds that maybe this drink isn't targeted at blokey blokes like yourselves? There is obviously a market for it, but most of them wear a skirt...

Don't tell me their target market is the Rugby League crowd? h34r:

Cheers SJ :lol:

Could be a bit of a leg opener.
Hard to beat passion pop though.

Well I can tell you that the skirt wearer in my house said it tasted like shite, so obviously it is crap :lol:

I see more men drinking that stuff then women....

 

[Dazza_devil]

Perhaps it is aimed more toward the immature palate rather than a specific gender.

Did you notice them wearing skirts :lol:

There's something about a woman that enjoys a Strong Ale or an IIPA. Whether she has her pants on or not. :icon_drool2:
