Typical tastes of a hefeweizen on the low level, bitterness toned down, not complex but all simple tastes. Perhaps a fan of the old weissbier might not be enamored, but I like it, its manageable for me at least who is not a regular drinker of these wheat beer types. Subtle grapefruit and wheat character on the nose. Overall, the balance of tastes and flavours is perfect in this beer, making it very easy and very enjoyable to drink. Germany- Radler/Shandy- A Radler beer brewed with a Hefeweizen and Grapefruit mix. Nice taste of barley malts and fruits, and of course the wheat, the cloves and the coriander, with only a slight hint of the hops. Not a huge amount of flavours but its going done nice enough, smooth. Getting a lot from the bottle, which considering all the carbonation, is great. On to the taste, initially it is all crisp, very soft and refreshing on the tongue, very smooth for a hefeweizen. Standard weizen with moderate to weak smell.
Smell is fine, but not strong, weak and on the low level. Getting the usual hefeweizen aromas, no surprise there, the malts, cloves, the citrus and fruits, and a hint off the spicy hops. On pour we get a very active and excitable beer, very carbonated resulting in a quite big frothy white head, as expected but perhaps not as big as we got! Deep gold in colour, once it all settles down it looks not bad at all. The brewery call it an eye catching mandarin colour! Review: 0,5l long brown bottle of Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen: 5% vol.ĭiscount supermarket beer, comes in a brown bottle with a rather cheap looking logo that doesn’t inspire, all in orange and rather shite looking. The only place where I think it might fall short is it doesn't have the gentle tartness I've found in other examples of the style and I've always thought that is part of what makes a hefeweizen such a great summer beer. It's smooth and refreshing and hits almost all the notes this style of beer should hit. Schofferhofer may not be the most intense version of a hefeweizen I've ever had, but nor is it the least either. Finish is briefly sweet before moving into a short, dry finish.Įasily a 7.75 out of 10. Banana couples with the flavor of banana smoothie and hints of bubblegum. As with the nose, initial hit of clove lays the foundation for flavors of freshly baked bread and the accompanying smell of yeast. Schofferhofer's mouthfeel is smooth and rounded in a way that promises a refreshing beverage. The finish is vaguely floral and perfumed. Part of that takes the form of ripe banana, briefly taking form of a pina colata smoothie. Fruit esters come through here, giving the aroma an enjoyable brightness. Beneath that, bread dough and the obligatory yeastiness. Holding up my glass, the first thing I smell is cloves in a way that's gentle, subtle, maybe even enticing. The head is thick, mousse-like and lasting. Schofferhofer Hefeweizen is hazy and a golden copper shade of amber.
