beerbuzzmontreal (2769), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Sep 20, 2007 The pour reveals a cloudy golden color with a thick white head that diminishes to a thin one. The aroma is very sharp and promises a refreshing flavor, there’s sourness, bananas, maybe citrus, cloves and bubble-gummy yeast. In the mouth, there’s a highly refreshing sour flavor with fruits, cloves and bubble-gummy yeast. The body is light to medium with an oily texture and medium to lively carbonation. Hmmm, too bad this style is hard to find, especially in North-America, I really like berliner=weisses and this one is very good.
GriffinAvenue (365), South Boston, Massachusetts, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Pale, faint grapefruit/lemon color. No head. Lightly hazy and moderate carbonation. Yeasty, citrusy, lemon, lime. Doughy and spicy to the taste. Tangy with some bitterness on tongue at finish. DA (2586), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Nov 29, 2008 Excited to see this beer show up in our market, we don’t get many Berliner Weisses in town, so this was a treat. Cloudy yellow pour with a small white head. Tart lemon citrus nose. Wheaty and excellent lemony sourness. Perfectly drinkable and refreshing. DSG (997), Yuvalim, Israel Nov 28, 2008 (10/15/08) Bottle at Map Room in Chicago. Clear golden color with a medium white head that falls rather quickly. Aroma of fruits (some apricot, pineapple and citrus), wheat and a bit of lactic acid. Sourish flavor with fruits, citrus, some wheaty tartness and yogurt notes. Medium-bodied with very strong carbonation. A good refreshing beer but not as good as real Berliner Weisses (Schultheiss and Kindl). Homer321 (120), Rockledge, Florida, USA Nov 20, 2008 tart smell up front. crazy carbonation with huge head. super clear and light in color. head doesn’t stick much, no lacing. very tart that catches you behind the gills, but finishes out dry leaving you wanting more - like a warhead. first taste is harsh, but onces your taste buds adjust, they will crave more, more, more. amzing complex for such a light beer. probably rivals duvel on complexity. An amazing sour funky beer. This is what I want to drink when I get done with yardwork - by the case. verymerrymonk (218), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Nov 1, 2008 Pour is a cloudy yellow body with a thin white head. Sharply tart with lemon and maybe some peach skin. Refreshing and delicious.
