Trader Joe's (JosephsBrau) Radler

I am in drinking Radler by Trader Joe's (JosephsBrau), a Micro Brewery in San Jose. Radler is an Shandy / Radler, with an ABV of 4 and IBU of 9. I gave this beer a 3.75 on Untappd’s 5 point rating system.

BREWER’S NOTES

Radler is a refreshing and crisp combination of beer and lemon juice and natural flavors. The beer is brewed with hallertau hops, 90% pilsner malt, 5% Munich malt and 5% carahell. Additional ingredients: sugar, lemon juice from concentrate. Stats: 4% alcohol by volume and 9 bittering units.

Sixpoint RAD

Sixpoint RAD. I love the colours on the cans. The green of the grass makes for an easy background.

I read a review of this RAD on a Bon Appetit. The review got me tweeting and calling around to find it. Most places said they were sold out. But I persisted. Checked out Cool Vines. Didn't have it. Joe Canal's. Didn't have it.

Last try. public in Princeton. Yep! Picked up two.

The grapefruit isn't as "fruity sweet" as I had hoped. The taste was reminiscent of a very tart grapefruit. Still, it would be easy to drink a well chilled six pack of RAD on a hot summer's day. Like this coming weekend.
