Schofferhofer Grapefruit Beer, 500 ml, Case of 24, NA27

Product Information

The only problem with there being so many grapefruit-based beers these days is that it takes some effort to separate the wheat from the chaff. But since I’m in the business of helping drinkers have the best possible experience, especially when it comes to craft brews, I decided to grab a handful of well-known grapefruit beers and put them through a blind taste test. While grapefruit is very popular as the main flavor for a shandy or radler, I also selected a well-known IPA, lager, wheat beer, and even a Kölsch -style beer just to get a mix of as many styles as possible.

In this section below, we’ve put together some of the most frequently asked questions from our readers that have been asked online about this topic. What is the most popular beer in Ireland? The malting process involves soaking the grains in water, allowing them to germinate, and then drying them.

After this blind taste test, it’s obvious there are two different kinds of grapefruit beers and they appeal to two different types of beer drinkers. One is sweet, one-dimensional, crushable, and heavy on grapefruit and not much else. The other is complex, well-balanced, and uses grapefruit to complement other flavors.

Part 2: The Ranking

Normally, I don’t notice the color, but this beer looks like grapefruit soda. The smell is all citrus peel and ripe grapefruit. Anything else is overpowered. Tasting it, I could have sworn that someone changed out one of the beers for Squirt soda or something similar. It doesn’t even taste like beer a little bit.

Kölsch is one of the most popular warm-weather beers so it should come as no surprise that adding grapefruit flavor is only going to heighten the experience. If grapefruit is your jam, this is a can’t miss summer beer. 1) Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin IPA (Taste 4) Ballast Point

Available from March through August, this German-inspired beer combines a classic Kölsch-style beer with ruby red grapefruit flavors. These beers are closely related to tripels in terms of recipe and ingredients, but favour the expression of fruit fermentation aromas to spicy ones.
