Aroma of lemon zest and bananas in milk with sugar on top. A pleasant lemony tartness with better than average carbonation on the palate. A hint of granny smith apple and wheat. Finishes fairly tart. What a great summer refresher. brewblackhole (1383), 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. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 22, 2007 A thick-bodied pour of a glowing sunshine yellow. Wheat aromas of brown sugar on bananas and cloves, though musty and basement-like. Rather normal and unremarkable with a few hints of obscure spices. Taste is simple and sprightly while very cold. A warm tartness of baked green apples and an insane lemonade sweetness form the basic dimensions eventually. A kind of quiet animalistic stink in a cloud of bacterial vapor. Strange. At some moments the complex chorus of citrus and funk begins to ring loud and clear, while at others the tone is a simple, still hum of old lemon water. This is mostly relative to temperature, and more than most, this one hits an ideal spot somewhere in the middle, before and after which it doesn’t seem quite right. Finishes with tart and sugary apple and kiwi sensations. Rather massive acidity. Pretty much spot on for serious heat. Thanks Andy!

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jul 21, 2007 What a treat it has been to enjoy to world class beers these past two days after a string of middling to mediocres. This one pours a hazy yellow color that is as beautiful as any sunset when held to light. The large white sherbert punch head forces me to wait for one agonizing minute before I can lift the glass to my lips. Of course that forces me to spend more time sniffing which is a pleasure in its own right. The lasting impression is very lemony but there’s a quick burst of of sweeter heffe like banana in the beginning and an almost Saison like funk at the end. It’s truly an amazingly flavorful and rather light beer that I plan on enjoying all summer long. JCapriotti (1378), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 1, 2007 Large frothy white head, cloudy pale yellow body. Sweet wheaty lemon aroma. Flavor is a little sour wheat with some juicy fruit popscicles. Very full flavor. Nice combination of sweet and sour wheat... nicely rounded and balanced with some cherry too. Good stuff.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 18, 2009 Bottle at City Beer in SF, first I’ve rated of the style I think. Golden color with a white head and high carbonation apparent. Aroma of wheat and lemon/other sour fruits. Flavor of wheat with lemony tartness and sour grapes and apples. Sharp, crisp palate with a pleasant astringency. Not too sour. Refreshing.
