About This Beer
Stiegl Grapefruit Radler is a refreshing fruit beer blend that captures the very essence of summer drinking. Brewed by Stieglbrauerei in Salzburg, Austria, this radler combines Stiegl’s crisp, golden lager with real grapefruit juice for a bright, citrus-driven flavour profile. At just 2% ABV, it’s low in alcohol but bursting with taste, making it the perfect choice for daytime sipping, outdoor barbecues, or those looking for a lighter alternative to traditional lagers.
