Spindrift Brewing Co. Wheel House Radler Radler at 4% ABV | 8 IBU (C$3.57 at NLC Stavanger, 473 ml, packaged on 29-May-2018, acquired 4-Jul-2018, reviewed 5-Jul-2018)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with a short-lived fizzy head, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: orange soda, hint of bandaid. (5/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate tart, low bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium-light body, lively carbonation, sugary mildly tart finish. (3/5)
The label doesn’t specify what juice is used here, but I’m guessing based on the artwork that their “exotic citrus” is pink grapefruit, orange, and lemon. Looks like orange soda, tastes like orange soda, and smells like orange soda – with a bandaid in it. I like a Radler as much as the next guy, and probably more than most, but this is pretty lacklustre overall, and too sweet to boot. (12/20)
