Something like that. The way he pronounced it though, I wouldn't be able to spell it.
Yep. Radler is pilsener mixed with lemon soda. A shandy is similar, but uses lemonade. Germans who can't get a ready-mixed Radler will mix Sprite with a pilsener to make a pretty good approximation. My wife used to get confused looks from waiters when she'd order a sprite mixed with beer. Usually they'd just bring her a beer and Sprite and let her mix it herself. It's kind of a warm weather drink in Germany. Beer and cola is also a drink. That's called a Diesel.
They do sound nasty, but keep in mind they are not every day drinkers. They are more geared towards women and people who want something refreshing on a hot day. Germans like bubbly drinks too, like carbonated water and fruit juices, so these are like sparkly beers.
I agree with this. I wish the lemon were a little more subtle. I might try to tinker with @FSUTribe76 's recipe
Yep, made with Prickly Pear. Pretty good. Their Ruby Red (grapefruit) is better. It was so popular it became an all year brew.
Your math skills are lacking too? Good grief, man! Get some help. I had 2 1/2 of them. The first I poured into a pilsner glass and thought it tasted like flat, bitter, lemon water. The second one I drank from the bottle and thought it was better, but only because the carbonation was noticeable. I tried the third because I'm, uh, frugal. I guess it just doesn't please my palate. Live & learn. No biggie.
