What is Grapefruit?
Clausthaler is the alcohol-free beer Frankfurt’s Binding brewery launched in 1979; it belongs to Binding-Brauerei, part of the Radeberger Gruppe. Alongside Original, Dry Hopped and Lemon, it sells Grapefruit in the UK.
Grapefruit is half Clausthaler Original and half a grapefruit drink made with grapefruit, lemon and orange juice and sugar, Clausthaler says. The Alcohol Free Co describes it as golden pink, with zesty grapefruit aroma and a crisp, lightly sweet finish. Clausthaler’s page shows a vegan logo.
Clausthaler gives 28 kcal and 4.7g of sugars per 100ml, about 92 kcal a bottle. Some shops claim awards for it that we couldn’t confirm, so we don’t list any. We haven’t scored it yet.
