Stiegl Grapefruit Radler

Stiegl beers are brewed in Salzburg, Austria. This is a "radler" or beer mixed with citrus juice or soda, in this case, 60% grapefruit soda. It is 2.5% ABV. Radler is apparently a German word for a bicyclist, as they needed a refreshing drink with less alcohol on their bike rides.

The beer pours a cloudy lemon golden with grapefruit flesh tints. There is a short and short lived head of fizzy white foam. The aroma is fresh and zesty grapefruit, juice, flesh and rind. There is some toasted wheat underneath, but this is a grapefruit vehicle. The taste is grapefruit juice over light toasted wheat. It is well-carbonated without being overly carbonated. This is straightforward and a real refresher.
