Schofferhofer Grapefruit (Germany)

Orange and cloudy from natural sediment, smells like red ruby grapefruit juice although it is half wheat beer and half juice and part of that juice is actually orange juice. Very carbonated and sweet. Not really a beer but mostly juice although it is otherwise tasty and summery, and would make a fine patio drink. On a hunch, I swirled the sediment into the beer in an attempt to get more beer flavour: no such luck, it just got flatter.

Very pale gold. A sweet, ever so slightly hoppy aroma with light malt and grain tones. Very mild flavour: mostly sweet, barely malty with a hint of grain as well as the faintest hints of hops. Watery mouthfeel. Fully (but not overly) carbonated and very refreshing. Pretty good for an ultra-light beer - an individual certainly cannot expect a pile of flavour from a beer of this style - so I would not dispute their use of the "Premium" tag.
