Commercial Description:
WÜRZBURGER HOFBRÄU "SOMMERFRISCH" RADLER “Radler“ is the German word for bicycle rider. As a drink, it was invented by a great Munich gastronomist and character, the landlord Franz Xaver Kugler. The story goes that one day in the summer of 1922, a 13,000-strong horde of cyclists descended on the Kugler Alm, a bar/restaurant that was a focus for excursions and belonged to Kugler. Of course, its stock of beer was inadequate for the thirst of this mass of people. But the clever landlord figured a way out. He mixed the rapidly depleting beer to one half with lemonade, of which he had plenty. He served his guests with this new mix, a "Radlermass" / cyclist’s measure /, saying this drink had been invented specifically for cyclists, so that their ride home would not be unsteady. Radler beer quickly became established in Bavaria and Lower Franconia. Increasing number of fans meant it was inevitable that Würzburger Hofbräu would add this super-drinkable, summer-fresh mix to its range.

Bottled. A light golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of lemon. The flavor is artificially sweet only with notes of lemon, leading to a dry lemony finish.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Starts mild with fruity notes. A bit sourish in the end, notes of lemon an peach. Not bad for a radler!

Bottle. Aroma of lemon-lime soda. Light yellow color with small head. Flavor of lemon-lime soda but can just detect beer/hops flavor which is unusual for a Radler. Something to drink when you’re hot and don’t want the alcohol. Pretty much the same as any other Radler.
