Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen-Mix Grapefruit

Brewed by Binding-Brauerei (Oetker Group)
Style: Fruit Beer
Frankfurt, Germany

The aroma is sweet and has plenty of grapefruit with a smaller amount of wheat beer. The appearance is cloudy pink orange with a thin head that fades fast. The flavor is like the aroma sweet and dominated by grapefruit with a smaller malty finish. The palate is thin but smooth. Overall this one is better than I expected. It has bitter and sour tastes but they are balanced by sweet. Underrated, but then again maybe I am a sucker for citrus fruit.

bottle, pours hazy orange with pink hues. Grapefruit aroma with light wheat showing it’s face. More grapefruit than weizen in nature with lots of sweet and sour in the finish.

Not quite a beer, but very refreshing. A strong grapefruit aroma, but in palate it’s not as bitter as I feared (I don’t like grapefruit , it’s too bitter for me), It has a soft sweetness and a citrus flavor, and a malt background that gives it more body. Very pleasant, but consider it a soft drink.

2009-03-28. Very hazy orange-pink body with a good sized foamy white head that fades. Sweet and sour grapefruit in the aroma, sugary undertones. Flavour is quite sweet, muted muddled citrus, grapefruit with just a touch of tartness, very muted allusions to the underlying wheat beer. Average palate. Pretty bland, artificial tasting but not that bad. Surprisingly inoffensive cooler. Bottle from LCBO

Bottled(330ml). -Shiny orange coloured, medium sized white head that went away slowly, grapefruit nose. Tastes like breezer flavored with grapefruit. Short and artificial bitter-sweet finish. Some small pale orange sediment at the bottom.

Bottle. Orange colour with a white head. Aroma is sweet, grapefruit, orange. Flavour is sweet, grapefruit, malt. Soda meet grapefruit blended with hint of malt.

Orange in colour with a bit of a pink tinge around the edges, very small white head, light patchy lacing. The aroma is of pink grapefruit which is what I am guessing is what they wanted. The flavour is dry, more grapefruit, some wheat, tangy. Sweet mouthfeel, light body, high carbonation. Finishes long with a high grapefruit tartness.

I didn’t hate this but it is terribly gimmicky, very refreshing but so are regular hefes.

330ml bottle from the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario.
