GriffinAvenue (395), Winchester, Massachusetts, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Pale, faint grapefruit/lemon color. No head. Lightly hazy and moderate carbonation. Yeasty, citrusy, lemon, lime. Doughy and spicy to the taste. Tangy with some bitterness on tongue at finish. beerinmarch (2781), Alabama, USA Nov 29, 2008 Excited to see this beer show up in our market, we don’t get many Berliner Weisses in town, so this was a treat. Cloudy yellow pour with a small white head. Tart lemon citrus nose. Wheaty and excellent lemony sourness. Perfectly drinkable and refreshing. DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel Nov 28, 2008 (10/15/08) Bottle at Map Room in Chicago. Clear golden color with a medium white head that falls rather quickly. Aroma of fruits (some apricot, pineapple and citrus), wheat and a bit of lactic acid. Sourish flavor with fruits, citrus, some wheaty tartness and yogurt notes. Medium-bodied with very strong carbonation. A good refreshing beer but not as good as real Berliner Weisses (Schultheiss and Kindl). Homer321 (127), Rockledge, Florida, USA Nov 20, 2008 tart smell up front. crazy carbonation with huge head. super clear and light in color. head doesn’t stick much, no lacing. very tart that catches you behind the gills, but finishes out dry leaving you wanting more - like a warhead. first taste is harsh, but onces your taste buds adjust, they will crave more, more, more. amzing complex for such a light beer. probably rivals duvel on complexity. An amazing sour funky beer. This is what I want to drink when I get done with yardwork - by the case. verymerrymonk (255), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Nov 1, 2008 Pour is a cloudy yellow body with a thin white head. Sharply tart with lemon and maybe some peach skin. Refreshing and delicious. BeerGestapo (725), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 30, 2008 Updated: Dec 11, 2008Brewed in Germany.....Pours a sweet golden color with a dissipating white head. Tons and tons of carbonation in this classic style. Aroma of lemons, citrus, and very tart candy. Taste is zesty and sour with a wheaty malt mouthfeel. This brew was a wonderful suprise. And i would like to try more of the berliner weisse style. travita (1861), Frisco, Texas, USA Oct 29, 2008 Smell is lemon, wheat, yeast, fruits, and some tartness. Look is cloudy with a light white head. Taste is a light lemony tartness with hints of wheat and other citrus. Dry and refreshing. joshwilfong (769), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Oct 27, 2008 golden with quickly disappering head. slight spicy and definitely sour nose. thick mouthfeel. flavor is greatly unique with an initial fruity ester flavor from the yeast with a very refreshing tartness from the lactobacillus. a beer that was perfectly fermented, benefitting from proper yeast manipulation to balance the lactic acid. a great brew, from an under-appreciated style.
