Jun 9, 2007 I’m pretty sure that this is my first Berliner Weisse, at least one that I’m sitting down and trying to enjoy. Very cloudy, dark golden colored, slight head around the sides of the glass. Aroma is very wheaty and lemony. Full aroma, and very pleasant. The flavor is quite good - full wheatiness and refreshing lemony tartness. Crisp. Tasty. Nice.

Feb 6, 2008 Lovely caramel yellow colour. No head. Nice golden sediment settling in the glass. A peppery-orange, zesty- gasoline aroma with a sour-salty flavour with a wonderful lemon finish

Jun 5, 2007 Bottle bought from West Lakeview in Chicago. There have been lots of talk about this beer and I was excited to finally try it. Pale yellow/white kind of like dark white wine or apple juice and BUBBLY white head, kind of like champagne. Aroma of light lager, mixed with complex fruitiness, sourness, very unassuming. Sip...Oh my goodness, this is crazy, sour, geuze like, pineapple, apple, sweetness but not too much. Light body, with lots of carb. I’m glad to see that such obscure styles are taking off.

May 7, 2009 Bright gold appearance with a tiny, gray head and sparce lacing. Aroma of wheat and tart fruit, thinking lemons and green apples. Wheaty, astringent taste; sour, but not in the same vein as a Flemish sour. This one is unique, as if a spritzy white wine had started to turn. Dry, medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel. Lingering, fruity, finish. A real palate cleanser.

Dec 15, 2007 From a 500mL Bottle. Pours a somewhat hazy, pale straw color with a thick finger of fizzy white head that quickly dissipates to a thin, filmy layer. Toasted wheat and baked cornmeal aroma with a tinge of lemon freshness. Yogurty. Some light pinot grigio grape acidity adds some fruity complexities. Light bodied, effervescent carbonation. Sparkling mouthfeel, expceptionally dry. Lots of refreshing wheat flavors, clean and married beautifully with hints of lime and unflavored yogurt. Not too sour, but wonderfully lactic and refreshing. Mild granny smith apples and under-ripe pears create some restrained fruity impressions. Incredibly clean and refreshing; what more can one possibly expect from a Berliner Weisse?

Aug 23, 2007 Mine looks more like apple juice with a quickly dissipating white head. I’m pretty into this one. Incredibly intense complex fruit flavors. Some apple, some strawberry, some grape. Light, crisp, refreshing drink. Medium bodied and kind of dry. Of the yeast dominated and lightly hopped german beers, this one is my favorite. I’m getting a yeast and slight must aroma. The flavor also has a little bit of tart, sour characteristics as well. Don’t let this one go up your nose ’cause it kinda hurts.

Jun 14, 2009 Bottle courtesy of BeerBelcher. This one is supposed to act as my gateway to the other sour styles. Pours a cloudy blond/gold, with a big white head. Tart and acidic aroma of apple and citrus. Flavor is about the same with a thin finish. Not bad. I’m by no means ready to dive into Lambics with both feet, but I can drink this.

May 24, 2009 Seemed to have a little too much carbonation to it. Yellow-gold hue with a white head that faded fast. Astringent aroma which at times did seem fruity but overall it was astringent. Flavor was similar initially it did have a nice ester twang to it but it got tired some after a while. My first of this style. Finish was moderately dry.
