Established in 1872, Stuttgarter Hofbräu is a brewery located in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, in southwest Germany not too far from neighbours France and Switzerland.
As of January 1, 2010, the Radeberger Group, a division of the Oetker Group, those of the cheap beer variety, took complete control of the company, but with Stuttgarter Hofbräu Brau still retaining its sense of clear city and regional identity, albeit as the small wheel in the cog of a large brewing conglomerate. It is still viewed as the traditional beer kings of the city of Stuttgart.
The new takeover has definitely produced results as production is up, market share has increased and the brewery is expanding.
Stuttgarter Hofbräu brew Pilsners, Exports, Radlers, non-alcoholic beers, wheat beers and the occasional seasonal and festive beer.
Review: 0,5l, a nice colourful can of Stuttgarter Hofbräu Naturtrübes Radler: ABV. 2% vol
The logo looks well funny to me, as the “Stuttgarter” looks like “Gtuttgarter” to me, with a big fat “g”, but I have no idea why it looks like that.
Anyway, I thought I would try something new, a little bit of a light tasting beer for a change. Apparently this is made up of 40% beer and 60% natural lemonade, according to the label.
The aroma is as you’d expect, full on lemony, very nice though, very nice. I do love the smell of lemons and citrus. Pleasant on the nose, tops marks here.
As for appearance not so good. Looks shite, light yellowish colour, looks like piss to be perfectly frank with no head but to be fair is there ever for a radler? Looks shit, but there u go, par for the course for a radler.
Found the taste to be very, very nice, a very nice sweet taste. Of course it was all lemon, a very nice lemon taste. But not so sweet as it was very manageable, and very smooth and easy to drink. Exactly what I was after during the hot weather we were having.
Got a LOT in the can.
A thumbs up for the taste, albeit I am not so sure there is even alcohol present. Is it possible to taste 2% alcohol anyway?
Citrus/lemon flavoured, lovely to drink. On their site they say it is free from artificial sweeteners and preservatives, I’d well believe it. Didn’t feel metallic or chemically influenced.
Tastes like a lemon n lime but it is a radler that did the trick. Free from artificial sweeteners and preservatives. Liked it, and if i have to drink a radler again then hopefully I can pick this one up. A big thumbs up.
