Juicy description

Monteith's Radler® is a refreshing fruity lager beer. The style originates from Bavaria and was first created in the early 1920's by the owner of a Austrian Gasthaus, Franz Xaver Kugler. In search of an invigorating brew, he developed an easy drinking lager bier with a citrus twist – flavoured with lemon and lime. The perfect treat for the many cyclists ("radler" in German) and mountain hikers who visited his alpine guesthouse.

Radler® faithfully recreates the experience; it's a lager beer, brewed to full strength at 5% alcohol by volume as you are used to from Monteith's. The beer is brewed with a small amount of natural lemon juice, giving it it's refreshing zesty citrus finish.

Monteith's Radler® has a level of residual sweetness to complement the added lemon juice. This combination provides balance and a degree of complexity to the flavour mix. Radler® is only lightly hopped to ensure the bitterness character does not dominate the flavour.

After a hard days work (or a hike on the mountains), the refreshing citrus taste of Radler® will go well with fresh crayfish or a nice light spring salad. Or, you could match it the German way, with spicy sausages, cheeses and fresh bread.
