Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen-Mix Grapefruit

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

33cl bottle. A great improvement on the other 2.5% ABV German fruit beers I’ve tried. This one really tastes of proper fruit, not something from a chemical plant, and also clearly contains Hefeweizen - or perhaps that should be opaquely contains Hefeweizen.
The aroma has sweet grapefruit and orange; the colour is hard to describe - pink grapefruit mixed with cloudy beer is exactly what it looks like. The taste is fruity, and tart but with an underlying chalky wheat characteristic. I agree with Mes - this is a great drink, even if it’s not beer as we know it.

What a color? Pinky-hazy amber appearance and a nice light pink head. The grapefruit perfume dominates in the aroma. Good balanced grapefruit in the flavor with a nice hefeweizen taste. Sourish citrus aftertaste. Good beermix in the sea of gruesome mixes.

Tastes like grapefruit juice. Looks like grapefruit Juice. Aside from the carbination I can’t taste beer that much. Yet the after taste is like I just drank a wheat beer. Gotta give them some respect for trying this .

Bottle from aldi, 6 for £3! Iv gone off hefe’s recently so i wasnt expecting much. However though this beast is noteably thin, the carbonation seems slightly less, and the alround citrus goodness, grapefruit aswell as lime, make it very tastyu indeed. Incredibly drinkable, possibly the win on a hangover. Id say its better than thier ordinary hefe.

A Mes rate: bottle at Zeitgeist.
Cloudy yellow gold with a big head that settles quickly to a thin film. Apparently smells just like Araciata (an Italian soft drink), all I know is that it smells awesome. Fantastic fresh grapefruit with loads of orange and lemon and citric as hell. Flavour is similar. Full on fruit juice. There are no beery qualities in this at all. Ok there is some VERY slight hefeweizen in there but this is just a proper thirst quenching summer drink. Bitter, tart and citric finish. It’s not even close to a beer really and I’m sure plenty of you are going to think I’m mad but I love it.

Clear bottle 330 ml
Appearance: Hazed , murky bright orange look with short lived large bright white head.
Nose Refreshing zesty orange grapefruit aromas with plenty of vitamin C 6+.
Flavor/Palate : Light crisp refreshing tartness of grapefruit followed by bready wheat notes . Quiet refreshing on hot summer days. Well blended character of fruit and wheat beer. If you are looking for lighter fruit alternative this might be perfect choice.

Bottle from the LCBO. Light pinkish-orange with a small off-white head. Aroma of tart grapefruit candy, quite inviting. Medium bodied, quite crisp. Flavour - wow, this is quite nice! A great level of tartness, pleasant and natural tasting grapefruit flavour, very refreshing. I could easily go through a few of these on a warm summer day.

12oz single bottle purchased from LCBO in Toronto.. Pours a cloudy orange with a tinge of pink. Aroma is slightly fruity. The taste is as advertised. Fruity, first and foremost. The beer flavours are more of an afterthought. Not easily identified as a wheat beer. Tangy on the tongue. A beer cocktail - but not really a beer. Girly and yummy. Sure is going down fast.
