Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen-Mix Grapefruit

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

Bottle. An orange-golden drink, hazy, with a decent off-white head. Grapefruity, soda-pop like nose with some orange scent. Sweet, grapefruit flavor with oranges. Pink grapefruit that is. Reminiscent of the Norwegian soda called Solo. Not much different in the end .Sticky, medium body. Far from being bad, and far from being beer. (090116)

Pours orange, white head which dissipates. Aroma is sweet, sugary and has some grapefruit. Taste is sugary, grapefruit is there. Bit of a nothing beer.

33 cl bottle, shared with Beer2000, gunnfryd and yngwie. Orange color, disappering white head. Aroma has a lot of orange and grapefruit. Flavor is orange/grapefruit all the way. Thin, but refreshing...

Bottle (330ml). Poured cloudy sunny orange with no head. Aroma was very one dimensional with citrus flavoured mineral water dominating and some light metallic notes in the back. Flavor was equally as one dimensional with citrus flavoured mineral watery dominating yet again along side notes of bi-carbonated soda and odd plastic/rubbery notes in the finish. Light bodied with medium carbonation and a short finish. Resembles watered down tang gone wrong.

Bottle courtesy of matta. Pours a bright orange color with white head. Aroma is strongly of grapefruit with notes of wheat, floral hops, orange soda, cream. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of candy sugar, orange sherbet, orange soda, wheat, yeast, sweet candy sugar. Generally light to medium body with a carbonated and pleasant finish. Interesting beer. Refreshing if nothing else.

Bottle courtesy of matta. Pours a hazy peach with a small white head. Aroma of gragefruit and wheat. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. I was expecting a lot worse but it drinks like soda. Not to bad.

Bottle courtesy of Matta. Pours a hazy yellow-pink with a nose of sughary grapefruit and citrus. Flavor is same sugary grapefruityness. Fizzy, citrusy, and lingering lemon sweetness. Enjoyable, but very soda-like.

Bottle, courtesy MattA. Pours a cloudy peach color, with little lacing and head. Aroma is of dry grapefruit and citrus, some other spices. Flavor is big on grapefruit, some other citrus and powdery at times. Basically it’s a soda, and that’s cool, good for what it is, could put back a few, just wouldn’t really call it much of a beer.
