Holsten Cooler Lemon

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

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

33 cL bottle, doesn’t say "Cooler" on the label. Pours clear yellow with a diminishing white head. Light lemon aroma. Flavour is sweet, somewhat artificial, and with a very subdued citric note. Ends mild and without much flavour. Leaves traces of artificial sweetener on my lips - aspartam?

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.

Clear light yellow color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is light to moderate lemon, detergent. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (060908)

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.

Clear golden with a tiny white head. Sweet aroma with lemons. Flavour had lemons, lime and malty notes. Finished sweet.

It’s golden with a grey hue and a synthetic aroma of lemon. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of lemon, a little malt and hints of mash. It’s thin and boring.
