Beware of Tiger Radler beer

[Wd40]

This is a new lemon flavor "beer" from Tiger, I picked up from supermarket yesterday. Big mistake. It tastes like sprite and not like beer at all and worst thing it has only 2% alcohol and costs the same as the regular beer

I saw some Tiger girls outside i12 Katong pushing this last week. I didn't understand why they had a giant lemon on display. Now I do!

I accidentally tasted it the other night. Grim.

Tiger beer here is already bad enough.

I won't drink Tiger. Anchor can, Tiger cannot.

I like Tiger!

Harry's made a big mistake when they moved away from Tiger and Guinness. All their bars seem to be pretty empty these days. Well all except the one behind OT.

Don't get me wrong. Tiger is actually tasty but only when you're out of Singapore. Just like how Stella tastes better here than in Belgium where it came from, and Guinness too (in Dublin). I could go on with other examples of such beers but please feel free to disagree.

Oh I have to disagree with that.

The best Stella I have had was in Brussels after a particularly hot day doing the tourist thing. So good I had 6 of them. Boy was I disappointed when I got back to London and tried the local Stella. Here I can’t drink the stuff. No problem with the taste it’s the hangover that follows which I can’t take. Much worse than Tiger.

Guinness in Dublin, and Ireland generally, is first rate. Can’t say I’ve really sampled it here. It certainly didn’t travel well to London but was superb in Moscow. Go figure!

Sounds like Shandy Bass!

I love Stella, I always pick it up when I am coming from vacation, at changi airport duty free. Its the only place where Stella and Tiger are priced the same. $5.90 for 3 cans, IIRC.

Have to completely disagree. I love the new Tiger Radler, but it should be a bit cheaper than their beer for sure. It's a beer mix, so you probably shouldn't expect it to have more alcohol and taste like beer - just as you won't expect breezers to taste like rum and have 40% alcohol

Then again, I am from Germany and well used to beer mixes

I am not saying Tiger Radler is bad. Its probably good as a substitute for a cold drink. But I was disappointed, because I thought it was beer and then it didn't taste like beer nor did it give the necessary effect. Its my mistake, I should have read the alcohol content on the can, before buying. Just wanted to warn people from getting shocked like me.

They did that to fool Injuns so that they won't get drunk easily.

Radler is the German word for shandy. I.e. the drink is (typically) half beer and half lemonade.

It's quite nice on a very hot day as it can be light and refreshing. You need to serve it very cold to cut the sweetness out of the lemonade.

It's also often what younger children in England are weaned onto alcohol via... i.e. sit down for a BBQ in the gardens, the adults have beer and wine, the children juice, lemonade or shandy ('as you're now 11, and have been well behaved all week you can have a shandy if you'd like one' lol).

Cheeky of Tiger to use a German word for it. Even in England 99% of people wouldn't know what radler meant.

p.s. Still let's face it, it can't taste worse than Tiger...

It doesn't taste like shandy. It tastes of cheap lemon pop.
