About This Beer
Ayinger Lemon Radler is a refreshing blend of traditional Bavarian lager and natural lemon juice, delivering a light-bodied, citrus-packed experience with just 2.6% ABV. This classic German-style radler — or shandy — is designed for thirst-quenching pleasure without the heaviness of higher-alcohol beers.
Brewed by Ayinger Privatbrauerei, one of Germany’s most respected and decorated breweries, this radler showcases their skill at balancing flavour and finesse. The base lager brings smooth malt and soft carbonation, while the lemon juice lifts it with bright acidity and tangy sweetness. It’s clean, lively, and perfect for outdoor gatherings or casual sipping.
Radlers have long been a tradition in Germany, offering a lighter option for cyclists and warm-weather drinkers alike. This version from Ayinger is among the best — capturing authenticity, drinkability, and a true sense of place.
