Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen-Mix Grapefruit

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

Pours a cloudy orange with a med/small fizzy white head. A pleasant aroma of well, grapefruit yes, also hints of yeast and wheat. Flavour was a very pleasant grapefruit/citrus and wheat. People here have mentioned it is overly sugary, I agree. Nothing wrong with sweet notes in a beer, but this is a little over the top. Overall I did enjoy this so-called "beer" quite a bit. To me, it tastes more like a cooler, but it teases you with some Hefeweizen traits. Worth a try, definately.

33 cl bottle from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass.

App.: A rather cooler-esque orange-pink (light salmon??) with a small white head. Aroma: A large dose of pink grapefruit juice (shocking...), with some typical Weizen notes fighting to be found – yeast, light wheat and grain, and a touch of esters. Palate: Medium body, fairly lively carbonation, slight astringency. Flav.: As expected, pink grapefruit juice (thankfully not fake), and some of the same typical Weizen notes as in the nose, after that there is a slightly artificial, non-descript fruitiness; somewhat sweet but with enough tartness to keep it pleasant, a touch of bitterness and lingering hard fruit candy.

Surprisingly likeable. I will try mixing my own from the two mother liquors someday.

Admittedly appealing, cloudy orange-peach colour, nice big bubbly/fizzy head. Fairly fresh aroma, obvious wheat yeasts along with juicy grapefruit. As expected/promised, it’s too sugary and doesn’t have the bite you want. It’s not terrible by any means, and as far as German "mix" beers it’s one of the better ones. I’ll take it over most sodas any day.

Bottle (330ml - clear). Cloudy light peach pour with an average fizzy slightly pink-orange head. I have to admit that smells nice - grapefruit juice mixed with tangerine koolaid - but beer? Tastes the same - sweet, lightly herbal, like grapefruit and peach Snapple - but it’s nothing like beer. Refreshing though

Nose of orange kool aid, apricot in colour, very short lived custard head. Taste is a mild, artificial orange, (and I eat a grapefruit a day) light bodied, somewhat refreshing. Okay.

330 ml from the LCBO. pours cloudy orangish/yellow/pink? very fizzy. grapefruit and yeast aromas. mostly grapefruit. flavours are similar. didnt like this one.

A beer/lemonade mix. It is refreshing, all right, but I don’t know why they had to mix beer in it. A reasonably good lemonade, you can feel the echo a a weizen in the back. And it looks like puke...

Orangy hazy colour with white head that goes quick. Aroma of citrus and grapefruits and hefe. Flavour is strong in the citrus with a faint hefe background. Sweet flavour with not much body.
