Barefoot Radler

Brewed by South Australia Brewing (Lion Nathan Co.)
Style: Fruit Beer
Thebarton, Australia

bottled. well, i had to try this while i was back in oz.yellowy, some lime cordial in the aroma, a bit sweeter than german radler but somehow i actually did not mind it

Only slightly better than the Carton Fusion, seems to have a bit more body and not as heavy on the lemon and lime, not exactly what I fancy as a refreshing beer, still it wasn’t offensive.

Had this one during my holiday in Australia april/may 2009. Golden colored brew. Aroma is lime. Sweet, lime, lemon, carbonation. Drinkable, but not really a good brew.

Another marketing department-driven stab at the market for teenage drinkers who want to get pissed but don’t like the flavour of alcohol. This looks like any other Lion Nathan lager - why wouldn’t it when most drinkers will swig from the bottle. Smells like a particularly lemony lager shandy with a squeeze of lime. Inoffensive odour, with enough citrus to cover any skunking from the green bottle. First taste had me thinking of Thai restaurants - strong lemongrass, which obscures any beery characteristics, like malt or hops. Weak malt backbone, negligible bitterness. Basically, another alcopop. It’s refreshing but I’d rather have a glass of cordial and then a beer. (330ml bottle, bb 2/9/08)

Sweet lime aroma with a dash of hops. Clear yellow colour with fair head and lacing. Sweet malt hop flavour with loads of lime for good measure. Fizzy palate. Good to have on a hot day.

Clear light orange in colour with no head, slight citrus aroma, mild lime flavours, short crisp dry finish.

Cordial with beer... what a dumb idea. Only slightly better than the CYB Fusion rubbish. God this, is bad. Is another beer on ratebeer and that is about it. Drain pour. How is this the Oz "original"?

Did not have much expectation for this beer but thought I would give it a go. Surprised by the strong sweet aroma and poured with a fair head that did not last.
