1809 Berliner Style Weisse

Not much aroma. A little yeasty. Looks like a hefeweizen. A huge initial head that disappears quickly. A sourness, but nowhere near the Berliner KindlWeisse. I kind of like it though - the sourness is stronger up front.

2008 Flour City Brewfest. Yellow pour with a large white head. Aroma is dry with some hops and light citrus. Flavor becomes crisp with citrus, and some light hops. Nice.

Poured from a 50cl bottle at GOBF ’08...poured hazy golden yellow w/ a quickly diminishing fizzy white head. Nose of citrus, green apple,sour white grapes, yeast, and some grains. The flavor is a well represented mix of the above with no one flavor being dominant. The beer is sweet, but has an acidic tartness to it. The palate was on the lite side of medium bodied with a champange like carbonation. This was a nice treat in the heat we had that day! Very refreshing!

bottle - Pours cloudy yellow with a two finger, somewhat fizzy head. It smells like yeast, wheat, and some of that funky bacteria. The flavor is tart citrus, wheat malt, and a little funk. It’s certainly an interesting beer and is fairly tasty. I found it too thin at first, but as it warms the flavor fills out better as is so often the case.

Pour goes into the bottle clear but clouds up to a golden solid blanket. Nice head and the lacing gives testimony to where beer once was. Aroma is that of tart fruit. The first sip yields banana at the fore, followed by a citrus tartness and slight sourness over a thick wheat base. Some spices accent the complex flavors. There is a lot going on in this and this is about as good of a wheat beer as I’ve had. I’m stating that this is the best 5% abv beer in the world, bar none.
