Oct 21, 2009 500 ml bottle from Green’s Beverages in Atlanta, sampled 4/25/08. Hazy golden yellow colour with a mostly lasting thick creamy off-white head. Lactic, citric, lemon, doughy, and light grapefruit aroma. Tart lemon and grapefruit flavours with a dry, acidic, and lightly bitter finish. Light bodied, dry, and super refreshing mouthfeel. Sour, but balanced, great hot weather refresher.

Oct 11, 2009 Draft at Hamiltons. Pours a luminescent, almost glow-in-the-dark, cloudy neon yellow hue with quickly dissipating head and no lacing. Nose is lactic sourness with a hint of barnyard funk, light fruits, wheat. Flavor is lemon-orange zest amplified by the effervescence, light sourness and funk midway with a backbone of light wheatiness, finishes spritzy sweet. Light-body, thin texture, high level of carbonation. Tastes like a slightly sour mimosa, wheat and citrus dominate while lactic sour takes a back seat, a nice easy drinking bubbly drink that falls a bit short for the style.

Oct 11, 2009 Draft at hamiltons: Pours a processed grapefuit juice color starting out with a nice bright white head but settling very thin and really only a ring around the glass. Nose exhibits nice, lemony lactic twang. Flavors are wheaty with a bit of sourness, but really it tastes a lot more like a hefe than a berliner...there isn’t much if any graininess common with berliners...and the lemony twang is more wheaty and a product of a hefe-type yeast than any lactic funk. Its tasty of course, but within what I would call style guidelines of what I refer to as a berliner weisse, I don’t think so...

Oct 7, 2009 How good this beer is really depends on when in the bottle you get to it. The top half is light and champagne-like; the bottom half has a fruity taste and looks... well, like semen. I’d go out of my way for the top half of a bottle. Not so much the bottom half.
