May 19, 2008 [Bottle] Pours hazy golden with a good white head. Aroma is yeast, wheat and light banana. Taste is quite sour, but doesn’t seem to mesh very well with the wheat and banana flavors. Medium-thin mouthfeel with a somewhat short finish. This is the first Berliner Weisse that I have tried, so I have nothing to compare it to, but I have to say that I was fairly underwhelmed by it.

May 18, 2008 purchased from the beverage castle in tampa. aroma is very very sour and lemony so to say, it’s almost like sniffing a lemon. the pour is amazing, i didnt know what to expect but it looks similar to lemonade while pouring and then somewhat like apple cider. the flavor is identical to the smell, extremely tart and sour. it has almost a sour grape flavor with lemon juice. i love this style, it’s just what i was looking for when i bought it. great stuff!!

May 18, 2008 Bottle from Friar Tuck in Champaign and shared with barleyPops. Pours a hazy straw color with a white 1-finger head. Nice aroma somewhat characteristic of a wheat-beer: yeasty and somewhat spicy. It also had just a light hint of funkiness to it. I hadn’t read any descriptions and didn’t know what to expect with the style, so I was surprised to have a sour taste meet my tongue. The light sourness mixed well with the esters and spices of the wheat beer and made for an interesting drink. I’m definitely not into sours, but I did enjoy this one.

May 18, 2008 Poured a hazy shade of gold with a bright foamy white head...Very lively carbonation remiscent of champaigne! Aroma was bananna and lemons. Flavor was inital sweet fruit, followed by tart sour finish. Very much lemon tartness. My first reaction was YUCK. But I stayed with it and it grew on me. I imagine this would be a good beer to start with if you want to work up to the sours. Very different.

May 16, 2008 Aroma of some light banana, clove, and a good amount of lemon. Hazy light yellow pour with a huge head. Big bubbly carbonation. Initial hefe flavors of fruity esters followed by big tart and acidic lemon notes. Incredibly thirst quenching. Nicely tart. Some nice stuff here! I love that it can be so flavorful, yet so quaffable and light.

May 12, 2008 Bottle from Binny’s- Chicago South Loop. Extremely light bodied and highly carbonated-- almost like a sparkling hefeweizen. Lactic taste is there, but not overwhelming. Drinkable, enjoyable, but a little light bodied for my palate.

May 11, 2008 Bottle from Sam’s. Nose is very tart, though not in a Lambic way. Sweet and grainy with a lactic acidity. Quite different, really and nice. Pale cloudy blonde withe a disappearing head. Very tart with a bit of a caramelized finish. It’s interesting because I always used to taste that caramelly richness and never knew what it was until I started to brew and now know it to be the decoction. Very tart and different. Nice.
