What is Craft Radler and Why Try Botanic Radler Cedro Baladin
Radler is the beer of summer: light, refreshing, citrusy, with a low ABV that makes it perfect for hot days. The Botanic Radler Cedro Baladin takes this tradition to the next level: not an industrial beer mixed with fruit juice, but the meeting of two quality Baladin craft products — Birra Isaac and Cedrata Baladin.

What is a Radler?
The radler (German for cyclist) was born in Bavaria in the 1920s as a thirst-quenching drink for cyclists: half beer, half lemonade or fruit juice. Low alcohol content (typically 2-3% ABV), highly refreshing, easy to drink. Today it is one of the most appreciated styles during the warm season throughout Europe.
The difference between an industrial radler and a craft one is the same as between an industrial beer and a craft beer: ingredients, quality of the base, absence of artificial flavors.

Birra Isaac: The Base of the Radler
Birra Isaac is one of Baladin’s most iconic beers: a Belgian Witbier revisited with coriander and sweet orange, fresh and aromatic. Using it as the base for the radler is no coincidence — its floral and citrus notes multiply with the addition of Cedrata, creating a unique aromatic synergy.
