Had a tasty homebrew cask-conditioned Mild Brown Ale. Too bad I only made a gallon of that...

Raspberry Radler. Wow..! Tasty like selzer or wine cooler, but a bit more satisfying I think. I mean those wine coolers were a bit sweet, right? Selzers not as much – this Radler hits the target on-center. Full like a beer, not to sweet, not to dry. Really a balanced drink – You can see why these are so popular. Makes me want to go on a bike ride! NOT!

Again, Stiegl produces this Radler at 2% ABV – remember that original Radler back in the 1920’s would have been about half beer and half soda, so this ABV is about right. One thing you can enjoy with a Radler is a nice head and good lacing…. Take that Selzer water... HA!

Really a refreshing brew and very thirst quenching. Perfect for fantasizing about those warmer sunny days during this cold December. Enjoy!

American wheat with lemon peel left in the keg for 24hrs before carbing. Mild lemon taste thats not too bad. Will play around with it more. Id go peel of 2 lemons next time instead of one.

I added dried lemon peel at the end of the boil but couldnt taste any hint of lemon.
This is coming along nicely. Never thought lemon would work in beer but i quite like it. Had a few yesterday. I brewed it for my wife, but, well, im enjoying it too!

I dont think id add more lemon peel next time, the flavour seems to have melded in quite well. Great on a hot day.
 
Getting down to the end of my Austrian, Czech & Swiss Radlers. I was definitely off my game when I was purchasing these – somehow in my mind I thought this was two different flavors, turns out it was two different sizes – of the same thing!

Good thing I have barware a plenty to deal with times like this. 16.9 + 11.2 ounces equals 28.1 ounces – with room to spare!

Grapefruit Radler is about what you’d imagine – 2% ABV, a little grapefruity and a little beer-like, with less head and lacing than the raspberry. I guess given my druthers, I’d stick with the lemon or raspberry, but this one is OK too – refreshing and spritzy, perfect for cooling off in the shade down by the lake. Prost!
