Flavour looks like being flavour of the months ahead as two of Britain’s biggest beer firms offer drinkers some new tastes over summer. Molson Coors says its Carling Zest with a hint of natural citrus was such a success last summer that it has since been added to the portfolio permanently. This year it has a ginger-flavoured version of the beer as a special limited edition. Heineken’s new Radler combines Foster’s Lager with cloudy lemon.
