| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 6, 2008 .5 L from the local rip and run. Average pour yeilds effervessant and lively rolling white head that dissipates quickly. Pours a hazy honey yellow. A bit murky in the glass. No lacing. Citrusy nose. Bitter and acidic on tounge. Corriander and cloves along with some whispy orange peel fade into a hint of cherries on this average length of mouth. I was impressed with the commercial desription and the no wort boil bit. None too shabby. Nice on this hot day. BigBen2120 (688), Derry, New Hampshire, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 2, 2008 500ml brown bottle from Ron’s Market in Farmington. Pours a hazy light straw color with a good inch of short-lived off-white head. Smells fruity/citrussy, spicy, and slightly sour. Tastes fruity - citrus, apple, equally sweet and sour with a fairly dry clean finish. Light bodied with ample carbonation. Tasty, unique, complex, and super-drinkable. A new favorite!

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 2, 2008 Bottle: I have only had one other berliner weisse but I really enjoyed it, which made me seek out this one. The 1809, did not dissappoint me! The bottle has a history lesson written on it and its uses.... Cool in a dorky way... But on to the beer itself. Poured a cloudy/murky yellow color, big head of course. Smells fruity. Taste is pleasently smooth. A tartiness that I really like. Fruits and spices also thrown in. Lots of subdued lemon in the beer taste. The texture is light and easy to drink. Lots of carbonation but it didnt taste that way. Perfect for a hot summer day. I will never drink a nice glass of lemonade any more this beer will takes it place!....Overall a beer that I would recommend and would buy agian. A great example of what this type of beer should taste like! DAS GOOD BEER! rustychiles (1023), Mesa, Arizona, USA

Was gone in a flash. thedm (3834), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Jun 27, 2008 Oh oh. Way off the curve on this one. This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a large sized head of fizzy foamy white colored mostly diminishing finely sized bubbles that left behind a carbonated slightly hazy yellow colored body. The aroma was of mild grass and soap with a hint of malt. The mouth feel was tingly and acidic from start to finish. The flavor contained notes of acidic malts. Mark for a re rate. I suspect poor handling here. jcr (1149), Jasper, Indiana, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 26, 2008 Bottle. Tart, refreshing, light and full of flavor — a great summer drinker. Hazy, yellow body with a fizzy white, diminishing head. The aroma is malty with some grain. Notes of lemon, clove and apple. Light hint of yeast in the form of cobwebs. In addition, you can almost smell the acidity. The flavor is moderately sweet and moderately acidic. Very light bitterness. The finish is tart and lightly sweet. Medium body and watery texture with a lot of carbonation. Delicious.
