MaltDawg (778), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jun 27, 2008 1/2L bottle. Light yellow gold, cloudy, with huge frothy foam head. Aroma of grainy malts and some fruity spice. Moderate lemmony sourness with grainy wheat and fruity yeast flavors. Body is light and well carbonated. Somewhat sweet finish with some residual spices. Was gone in a flash. thedm (3833), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA 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 (1136), Jasper, Indiana, USA 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.
punkrkr27 (606), Berkley, Michigan, USA Jun 15, 2008 Hazy yellow pour with a fizzy white head that fades quickly. Grassy, yeasty aroma with some sourness and a hint of clove. Mostly crisp wheat flavor with subtle yeast and clove notes. Lingering sourness on the finish. Medium body with lots of carbonation. Butters (1622), Virginia, USA Jun 13, 2008 I didn’t really care for this one. Probably just don’t like the style. Pours a cloudy light yellow. Sour lemon aroma. Tastes like lemonade. Thin and carbonic. radiomgb (1920), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Jun 7, 2008 Golden-yellow in colour, thin white coloured head, light lacing. The aroma is lightly acidic and sour, wheaty, floral, grassy, herbal. The flavour is sharp, mild sourness, some cheese, herbal, lots of lemon citrus. Mildly acidic mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes tangy, citrus, acidic and dry.
Pretty nice, a stronger Berliner in terms of alcohol % but you wouldn’t know it. An excellent thirst quencher.
500ml bottle obtained in a trade with kkearn, thanks Keith.

beerguy101 (3861), Newark, California, USA Jun 5, 2008 This Berliner Weisse pours a medium yellow gold color from a 50cl bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is tart lemons, yeast and some malts. A medium bodied Berliner Weise The malts are cereal and grain, some papaya and orange. Its tart, but not overpoweringly tart. Lively carbonation. A nice tart and refreshing summer beer. The lower alcohol content would make this a nice summer session beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly tart. durhambeer (1186), Durham, USA Jun 5, 2008 500ml bottle. This beer is fun. Hazy bright pale pink pour with a slightly pink tint, I think. Bubbly frothy white head. Yeasty tart lemon, zest, and yeast as well as citrus and bread. Lovely sour dry finish. Refreshing as hell. If this were cheaper, I’d drink it all summer long...
