Websosanh.vn felt this article needed to be written because to this day, people are still confused about what Tiger Radler beer really is. Please allow Websosanh.vn to resolve that confusion for you once and for all.
Recommendation: Beer products are only for people over 18 years old.
1. Why is it called Tiger Radler beer?
“Radler” is just another type of fashion. While Southeast Asia often uses the word “Shandy” to refer to a mixture of beer and some type of carbonated soda with flavors (usually citrus, fruit, ginger beer), the term “radler” commonly used in Germany, where they mix one part beer with one part sparkling lemonade (or Sprite or 7-Up as we know it in Vietnam).
2. Shandy? Is it the sweet, bubbly drink that children like to drink during Lunar New Year?
Yes, it’s one and exactly the same. Actually, “Shandy” has appeared in Vietnam for a very long time. If I’m not mistaken, it first appeared nearly 40 years ago.
However, Tiger Radler beer was “launched” more than 9 years ago (in December 2013). “Google” it and you will find countless press reports about it.
3. So is Tiger Radler beer like other Tiger friends?
Although they are made from essentially the same ingredients, Tiger Radler beer actually has a significantly lower alcohol content than other Tiger beers available on the market. To give you a better understanding, the alcohol content of Tiger Radler beer is 2%, while the alcohol content of Tiger beer is at 5%.
4. Is it correct to surmise that Tiger Radler beer is the same price as other Tiger beers?
Again, not quite. Here’s a fun fact for you: when it first launched, it was meant to cost the same as Tiger beer. But after a while, the price of Tiger Radler beer became more flexible depending on consumer needs.
Lowering the price would probably make more sense, because how can a 2% ABV product be the same price as a 5% ABV product? In fact, a box of 12 cans of 500ml Tiger Radler lemon-flavored beer has a reference price of 420,000 VND, while a box of 12 cans of 330ml Tiger beer has a reference price of 204,000 VND.
Anyway, currently, the price of Tiger Radler beer is actually between imported stouts and domestically produced beers.
5. With 2% alcohol content, does Tiger Radler beer taste more beer?
No, not at all. Tiger Radler beer still tastes sweet and refreshing. Maybe you thought your mother spoke very aptly about Tiger Radler beer when she described it as “Very nice for hot weather. It’s very gentle.”
Tiger Radler beer will be less sweet when drunk cold
However, remember to only use Tiger Radler beer when it reaches the “super cold” level or it may become a bit sweeter.
6. So…can you legally use Tiger Radler beer for children?
Well, Tiger Radler beer “DOES NOT” have any alcohol in it. It really depends on how open you are to the children in your care being allowed to have a little alcohol. Do you feed them with shandy? If so, then maybe 2% ABV won’t hurt your baby.
Tiger Radler beer can be given to children in small, controlled quantities
By the way, did you know that in European countries, children are often fed with a little brandy or sherry when they refuse to sleep or become too capricious? Please learn more about this issue separately.
7. Can you get drunk with Tiger Radler beer?
It’s hard to believe some people can feel the effects of 2% ABV, especially those who don’t drink alcohol. So the best way to find out? Buy yourself a can of Tiger Radler beer and try it!
