Whether you’re basking in the hot sun or fancy swapping out your mimosa for something beer related over brunch, the radler is there for you. It’s the perfect beer for when you don’t need a beer, but you absolutely want a beer. But it’s no less deserving of the same praise, purely because it so effortlessly fills a low-ABV gap when so many similar efforts often leave me feeling a little hollow. It feels a little silly reviewing this beer, considering some of the other absolute corkers we’ve had on over the past few months. In the case of this effort from Frankfurt’s Schöfferhofer, this beverage is a 50/50 blend of its classic Hefeweizen with grapefruit juice. Well, technically the beer isn’t quite a shandy, butĬoming from the German word for cyclist, the radler is typically a German-style wheat beer blended with fruit juice as opposed to lemonade. So, as fate would dictate, the moment a can of shandy lands on my desk to review, it starts tipping it down with rain. Not only because of the seemingly unyielding heatwave, but due to an astonishing England World Cup run along with what I like to call “the redemption of Gareth Southgate”, it’s been a very pleasant season indeed. You’ve probably been reminded by your parents a few times this summer that it’s been the hottest since ‘76.
