| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 14, 2007 22 oz bottle. Pours very carbonated with a huge fluffy white head. Only got 1/2 bottle on the first pour. Nose of lemon, tartness, highly acidic and very sharp. Unique. Color is generic yellow. Taste of lemon, pucker, tartness, wheat is not evident. Better nose than taste so ultimately dissapointing. Great beer for a hot humid Houston summer. Wish that I could find it here. Magicdave6 (5490), London, Greater London, England
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 13, 2007 Bottle thanks to Sectret Santa. Looks great though very cloudy in an oerbier glass. Aroma seems minimal, but clear sweet wheat, lemon and an acid woody note, hints of spice also, peachy as it warms. Taste is initally sour, lemon and acid, all good, once swallowe a sweet biscuity honey note comes up, the finish is peachy honey with a pluckering from the carbonation an dry lemon. An intresting experiance that iv very glad iv had, though not what i expect from a berliner wieisse. RagallachMC (631), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 10, 2007 500ml bottle. Aroma: Wheat malt, lemon, peach, and some lightly dusty funk. Appearance: Lemony yellow in color and quite hazy. Bright white head was full and foamy with great retention. Good lacing. Flavor: Bready wheatiness is cut short by the lactic sourness. Sourness is just right. Some lemon and apple notes through the sour. Some very light dusty funk in the background. Finishes very dry. Palate: Light body. Medium-high carbonation. Overall: Very nice. Drinkable and refreshing with just enough bite. Angeloregon (2025), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Dec 8, 2007 Poured a bright, hazy, turbid golden-yellow body with a fat, fluffy white head. Lively bubbles evident for some time after pour. Nose of a faint sour lemon tartness with some wheat. Flavor was palatial and labyrinthine. Sour yet well balanced and unattenuated. Strong for a Berliner Weiss at 5% ABV. Finished crisp and quenching. One of the finest bottled beers I have had the pleasure of tasting. brewblackhole (1370), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 4, 2007 Aroma is tart lemony wheat, just the aroma makes my jowls pucker,a wonderful dry citrus lemony wheat taste and tartness contols your palate. Tartness seems like its going to sourness,when suddenly magicly it smoothes out nicely ,by far the best Berliner Weiss I’ve ever had, an absolute perfect summer quencher that tastes great even in winter. I believe this is an extra from biggcb. dmac (1442), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 3, 2007 500 ml bottle. Pours a super hazy yellow with an average size fizzy bright white head. Aroma of wheat, fresh cut grass, and tart fruitiness. Light bodied that is highly quaffable with lively carbonation trough out. Flavor starts out very tart of spolied fruit then mellows to wheat notes that fades out nicely. Damn fine stuff. WISEGUY572 (1245), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 2, 2007 Hazy lemon gold with a huge white head ... classic lemon meringue wheat beer appearance. Nose of citrus and slight funk. Taste almost lambic in its sourness, lightly funked as well. Easy to drink, very refreshing, and I can see where the habit of adding fruit syrup to a Berliner came from. after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Dec 1, 2007 500. Thanks, HogFodder! Tasty stuff. Nice to see it’s available in town (for) now. Cloudy lemony amber with a towering, fluffy platinum blonde head that quickly falls away to a little ring of white foam. Minimal lacing. Dusty, lemony nose. Medium-thick and quite tingly body. Plenty of carb, enough that it’s surprising that hardly any really shows in the glass. Tart lemony acidulence on the mid-palate; this flavor profile could use a bit of help. There’s grass there, maybe a bit of hay, but not much else to keep the lemony sourness company. But at least the sourness does have that lemony overtone. Light, refreshing, and clingy tart finish. Good stuff.
