reds beer

so when i was in russia 3 years ago, i got hooked on a certain beer called reds beer (i think...it's been a while). yet, i haven't been able to find it ANYWHERE. not online. nothing. i was able to find one blurry picture of it, but i'm not even sure if it was the beer i'm looking for. it was a very sweet beer a.k.a. girly beer. that's pretty much the only thing i remember about it. anyone know what beer i'm talking about or where to find it? please help.

      I was the same way with that beer. I was hooked on the raspberry flavoured one three years ago as well. I brought caps home with me so that I could find it at home but, no such luck. I do remember that it is actually a polish beer and its spelled Redd's. I found a website for you where you can order them one by one or by a case (20)! -Exciting!

      And you should scroll down a little to find that there is an apple flavour and raspberry flavour. You can add a case to your trolly and have a case at your place in no time Im sure. Have fun!

        )

        also something similar in Poland:

        and Tanzania, and Colombia, and South Africa

        none of these appear to be imported to USA

          Could it have been a Radler or shandy style beer, sweetened with fruit juice?

          If so, something similar might be easy to find.
