Schöfferhofer

I was at Düsseldorf airport and waiting for my flight back to London Heathrow. To calm my nerves and to dull my anticipation of my bag getting lost somewhere in Terminal 5, I sat down with my colleague Stef and enjoyed a nice glass of Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen (5.0% abv).

As far as wheat beers go this one is certainly an easy drinker, with a nice slightly tart flavour and fruity ester profile. I guess by this I mean you get the usual Banana, Clove combo but a hint of citrus as well. It went down nice and killed the hour or so I had to wait for my flight. I must have been drinking a little slower than usual as Stef finished his glass first, before rushing off for his shuttle back to Paris. Waiting in airports is not very exciting, much like this post. http://www.schoefferhofer.de/
