Radlers mean Pils and Lemon soda to me, and the Russen is Hefeweizen and lemon Soda as someone said above. I did notice you only get a PilsI love a Banana Hefeweizen, Sauer Kirsch Hefeweisen and sometimes a Kiba (Sour Cherry and Banana mixed). I miss Spezi too, but never had it mixed with beer. Now I am thirsty. :) The chips sounds delicious.

In southern Germany a Radler is a pils and lemonade (fizzy) and the Russen a Hefeweizen and Lemonade, but it seems moving up north you only get Radler...

I'm from Germany and yes, the Radler is very popular, especially in the summertime. Same with "Cola-Bier" as mentioned above, but then another great beer mix-drink is the "Banana-Weizen". It's a wheat beer, such as Hefeweizen, with banana juice. Yes, it sounds odd, but it tastes oh so good!

OK, first off, do you have a good recipe for Goulasch soup (Bavarian style - not the northern, potato and paprika laden version, but the thick, brown, almost gravy-like version). :-) I've been having withdrawals for that soup with some good crusty bread for YEARS!! Knorr used to put out a package mix that was close, but I can't find it anywhere anymore. — Please say you have one! LOL
The Banana-Weizen sounds wonderful! Pauliner Hefeweizen already has that lovely banana aroma and overtone, so I bet it'd be great this way! If I can find banana juice this might become my new summer drink. YUM! Thanks!

I lived in Germany for 4 years while growing up. Before we were allowed to drink beer, my parents would occasionally order us a Radlermass to share. When I got to college, my West Texas friends thought I was nuts for squeezing lemons into my beer, since that was the closet I could get one (this was some time ago). I'll still get a hankering for one, so it's great that I can find lots of good, dry lagers and not-too-sweet, sparkling lemon sodas (Italian soda actually works well, but European Fanta is still the best).
Another Bavarian treat: Spatzi. 1/2 Cola + 1/2 Lemon Soda.

I've never had the Spatzi -- I always put lemon in my cola but never lemon soda. Will try it!

It has never occurred to me to spice the chips myself. And That's why I love this community. Immediately going to do this. And make a Radler. Repeat.

Think I am actually going to make a Radler your way this weekend instead of my usual PBR with a lemon cheat.

I love these! You can feel a tad less guilty about eating chips when they have some good herbal spice to them.

If you warm the chips in the oven for a few minutes the spices will adhere to the chips better.
