Holsten Cooler Lemon

Brewed by Holsten-Brauerei (Carlsberg)
Style: Fruit Beer
Hamburg, Germany

Bottled. It pours an expected pale yellow, with a small white head. Lemony aroma, almost dishwashing water like. Soapy and lemony flavor, soapy, thin body and hints of malt in the finish, but very well hidden. A very lemony beer that might go well as a thirst-quencher, but as a beer? No way!. (061228)

Bottle. Lemon juice aroma (like the little plastic squirty ones you can buy). Very pale yellow colour. Small unstable white head. Lemon flavour, but not overpowering. Neither is the sweetness. Dryishly bitter finish. I have had much worse radlers.

Bottled. Golden, very brief head. Aroma of artificial lemon juice. Sticky sweet lemonade, perhaps the most vague hint of hops. No. I’ll never figure out what purpose beverages like this one fills.

A light yellow beer with a huge white head. The aroma has faint notes of lemon and hops. The flavor is malty with strong notes of lemon - and a dry slightly hoppy end, as well as a thin body. What to say? boring!

(Bottle 33 cl) Holsten uses their very own expression for the mixture of beer and lemon: as cooler is however usually a mix of wine and soda. Classic colour; in this mix of beer and lemonsoda, which creates a pale yellow Budweiser-like colour. Head is surprisingly nice for this type. One of the better mixtures with real sugar instead of artificial sweetener. Pretty good "Radler/ Alsterwasser" 101003

Clear very pale colour with a fast disappearing white head. Sweet lemon aroma and taste, a bit like Sprite.

Bottle. Pale golden colour with afast dissapering white head. Sweet lemon aroma and taste. Watery body and a sweet finish.

Bottled. Extremely pale coloured. Very unpleasant artificial lemon aroma. Awful soapy flavour. Very thin.
