sunrise again

Well, now we can go wander around, and even spend time inside our old favorite bars, with our old favorite beers.  It's officially summer now and everything, so most of us look for something lighter and more refreshing than at other times of year.  I cheated a little and just went to the supermarket for my beer this week; but it's Arriaca, something nice, and I know they make some good lighter beers.  Who's to say a radler wouldn't be good from them?

It looks very normal, like a pretty standard beer, but there's a little lemon snap in the aroma.  It's just a little cloudy, like pure lemon juice is working in there instead of just lemon drink (it's not lemon soda from what I can see).  The head is fizzy and bright, but dies down quickly.  It's an odd blend of sweet lemonade with a sweetish, grainy beer.  The beer part has a rounded feel, rolling down the throat, but the lemon sticks around, giving the tongue some little pokes.  The lemon is also front and center at the first sip, but clears the way for the grain in the middle, just after the swallow.  And then, you notice how the lemon refuses to leave, like a lemon candy more than a lemonade.  While a summery beverage, it's a little sweeter and candy-like than a truly refreshing beer should be, but the taste is enjoyable and not too sticky after all.  I'm not going to complain.  There are several months of heat for complaining.
