Sep 10, 2007 Updated: Nov 19, 20073rd LCRBM. This will get a re-rate soon, because of a trade with Der Doppelbock, but first impressions are these: yoghurt and, surprisingly, some hops in the aroma. Very modestly sour flavor with yoghurt, fresh cheese and traubenzucker. Citrus. Thin, but complex and delicious.
Re-rate: First rating was fairly accurate. Lychee in the somewhat citric aroma. A slight lemony sourness with tropical fruit added. pineapple, lychee, traubenzucker. Good complexity is this delicious and characterful beer, that is way less sour as the Berliner Weisse from Schultheiss or Kindl.

Sep 16, 2007 A Mes rate:
Bottle at LCRBM3. Stunned at how well rated this is. Didn’t even come close to working for me. Pale as hell, looks almost like a perry. Flavour totally dominated by vinegar. Barely detectable sweetness underneath. No balance and no character. Guess I need to re-rate this if I ever see it again.

Oct 11, 2008 Bottle. [thank you, after4ever]
Pours clear, pale golden with a nice, frothy, fizzy, white head. Aroma is lightly tart, lemons, apple and some funk. A bit weak mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Flavour is okay, light sour and citric with some sweet wheat. Well, it is never a 3,67 beer, but drinkable.

Jun 12, 2007 1pt .9oz bottle. Poured a light and hazy straw color with a huge sized whte head. Aromas of cloves, bananas, wheat and citrus. Tastes of wheat, lemony citrus, and very light spices. Tart finish. Thinner body. I could see drinking this on a hot and humid day.

Feb 9, 2009 16.9oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and cloudy yellow color. Aroma is perfumy, husky grain/bread, banana. As the beer warmed, the aroma did become lemon dominanat. Taste is tart/acidic lemon right up front. Mid and after taste is tart/acidic/lemon/fruit, wheat-slightly sweet, yeasty. OK effervescence. Not my taste but enjoyable. Thanks to emacgee for picking this out.

Sep 11, 2007 Milky, dull golden coloured pour. Lactic AND lemony nose make for a more complex acidity than most. Authentic salty, celery notes. Pretty straight on berliner weiss. Melony, fruity, yogurty nuances. I must say it remains pretty restrained in its acidity. It’s not that tasty, I don’t quite understand such high scores even though it’s from Weihenstephaner. Still, it tastes fresh and presents all the expected characteristics and makes use of all its ingredients. Well done.

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.
