We have a version of diesel here in the UK. It's not something I've really had but I believe its 50/50 beer and cider with blackcurrant diluting juice.
Used to get one liter glasses of this combo in Germany when I lived in Bavaria. The bars and festivals called it "cola weizen" which was their wheat beer. Their wheat beers are on a completely different level. Absolutely delicious on their own but it was awsome with cola too. I wish the "German" beers they sold here were the same but their not. I encourage beer fans to take the trip just to try it lol. You wont be dissappointed!!!
@@HalfAssBeerReview You certainly won't. If your going for the full authentic German experience, definitely go to Bavaria. Castles, festivals, and a ton of beautiful things to see plus the absolute HEART of German beer making. Take a tour of the brewery's too. There are tons!! Definitely worth the trip. If I could have migrated there, I would have lol. The food too man, it's all next level compared to here!!
@@rmisionero They do!! They called that one a "radler". They are good on a hot day and it was very low alcohol content so it didn't dehydrate you to bad lol.
Been there a week recently, i couldn't wrap my head around the idea of adding soft drinks to overall good beer. Spezi, on the other hand, that is divine when nice and cold.
Call the beer and Dr. Pepper, red dye off-road diesel. They literally put red dye in untaxed diesel fuel for farmers to put in their tractors. If the DOT catches you running this stuff in your Kenworth or Peterbilt you're screwed.
I have heard about this for years, but I have only met one person who actually does this. He said he does it when a beer has sat out for a while and has gone flat or as a starter drink when he is hung over.
can you get german wheat beer? you should try "bananenweizen". its like peanut and chocolate. banana and wheat beer are like they were made for each other.
This looks interesting. It sort of reminds me of Leinenkugel's summer shandy which is a mix of beer and lemonade. Very refreshing , sweet, while still tasting somewhat like a beer.
There’s a handful of things the Germans do to change up their beer a bit and this was just the easiest one with the amount of time I had to get ready. Cheers Shane!
I may have mentioned this before, but my friend used to live in Chile, and he said they drank 50/50 red wine and Coke. He could have just be pulling my leg though.
I call it bud heavy 😂 its a thing. Champagne… SPAGHETT! I was hoping for a black and tan effect. “If you wanna change it up…. But still want a beer.” Hahahah what a trip.
@@HalfAssBeerReview No problem! Hope you can recreate the original and give it a try cause it truly is unique. For best experience i would pair it with a czech Pilsner.
Completely understandable. When it comes to the bigger us style “beer” I go for high life. I had a few leftover from a get together. But when I want real beer, high life’s not even a thought. Cheers.
@@HalfAssBeerReview "Yuengling" black and tan, is not distributed in Michigan so I drive 60 minutes to ohio to purchase. "Alaskan" is also well worth a chug.
They call them Radlers. You can even buy them in restaurants over there. Theyre great for hangovers. a way to get sugar caffeine and a little hair of the dog back in your system. Fanta and light beers or dark beers and dark cola usually pair well.

That sounds pretty tasty as well.
That is different,will have to try it!

I’m hoping to make it there eventually. Sounds like I’ll never be thirsty.

I also think in Bavaria they drink beer with lemonade.

Cola and orange soda?

DOT Violation
It’s not April right
This my favourite way to drink beer for a long time, its soo refreshing.
Can’t wait to try more things like this.
gotta try that Dr.Diezel soon
I have heard about this for years, but I have only met one person who actually does this. He said he does it when a beer has sat out for a while and has gone flat or as a starter drink when he is hung over.
When it’s flat makes sense because of all the carbonation in coke.

Literally my favorite "beer drink" when I was stationed in Germany
I can get my hands on a German wheat. Banana Juice will be the harder of the two, but my interest is peaked on this one.
I am in for the coke but dr pepper is trash lol.

I'm familiar with summer shandy. There's also a German Raddler called Schoferhoffer Grapefruit that's super delicious.
Diesel and Dr. Diesel
Dr Diesel goes hard.
Thank you for trying this out. I never would have thought to do this. I may have to now. Lol. Cheers!

You may have. I’ll have to look into what kind of red wine I need to get. You’ll have to be here for that one.
I’ve had in-laws that learned that from their Italian parents
@@crakmonckey1908 apparently it originated in Spain, I’d like to try it

This isn't german, it originated in czech and you don't mix with Cola but KOFOLA a czech soft drink. Very different than cola.
I will definitely check that out. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
@@HalfAssBeerReview No problem! Hope you can recreate the original and give it a try cause it truly is unique. For best experience i would pair it with a czech Pilsner.
@@aragon2552 the Czech Pilsner will be the easy part in that equation. I’ll try my best!
Always call it Bud Heavy. I'll have to try this.
Worth the try for sure. Not for everyone, but a nice way to mix up the same beer flavor.
You know the Germans drink beer at room temperature, don’t you?
They do drink beer at a warmer temp than we do in the US. Something like 40-50 degrees f. Room temp is a common misconception though. 🍻
I’ve seen veterans do this in Bosnia and nowhere else😅
ALLLLLLRIIIIGGHHTTTYYYYY THHEEENNNN
Sure is hot in these Rhinos!
germans have never and will never consider "miller high life" a beer.
Completely understandable. When it comes to the bigger us style “beer” I go for high life. I had a few leftover from a get together. But when I want real beer, high life’s not even a thought. Cheers.
