May 12, 2007 Updated: May 15, 2007Bottle. Creamy yellow opaque appearance, doesn’t have a huge head, but still has a decent looking creamy texture white film. Pungent, inviting aroma, yeast-forward with an abundance of lactic acid... spicy and peppery on the nose. Taste is tingling and fizzy up front, spicy yeast initially tasted and then turning more semi-sweet and semi-sour, with wheat and lactose as the dominant flavors. It’s a really refreshing and tasty beer in a style I haven’t sampled much.

May 9, 2007 This pours a cloudy, pale yellow body with a HUMONGOUS fizzy head that does little of any lacing. The aroma is kind of funky, an underlying bread dough with bitter grasses, lemon, and old yeast. Light and well carbonated, its funkiness continues into the flavor. Along with tastes reflecting the aroma, it has some hand soap, overly ripe bananas, peppery spices, and a lactic sourness. Interesting, refreshing, and repeatable. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Wine & Spirits, Chicago, IL<font size=-1>

Jun 18, 2007 Cloudy light straw color with a big bubbled, somewhat fluffy white head that diminishes somewhat quickly in the bowl. Hugh wheat and light banana aromas. A light lactic scent, but not that strong compared to some of the other Berliners. Full wheat sweetness that does not last long with the tartness. Some white grapes and and lemon oil wander about in the middle. Dry tart finish that has some tart cherries and slight return of wheat. Respectable. Wouldn’t mild trying with woodruff or raspberry syrup.

Nov 11, 2007 Bottle@Home. Banana and raw rhubarb aroma but quite faint. Hazy, pale yellow color, off-white head, few lace. Citrus sourness, maltsweet, bitter, banana. Light bodied but with the last pour the yeast came what gave it more body. Sour and hops well balanced into one. Thanks DerDoppelbock!

Oct 5, 2007 RBSG 07 Minneapolis Grand Tasting: Hazy yellow, light head and lacing. Nose of bright wheat esters, banana and clove, that’s it. The flavor is lightly sweet, just faintly sour. Less sour and more bile though. The finish is clean, but light and tart. A bit of something added to this might do the trick...

Sep 17, 2007 Bottle from Keg Liqour. Poured hazy yellow color with a large frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate wheat sour fruit aroma. Light to medium body. Light sour fruit flavor with a light sour finish of moderate duration. Interesting, not my style.

May 30, 2007 Bottle from Capone’s. Cloudy yellowish pour with 1-finger white head. Aroma of heavy tart citrus, some pale malt, hops, and some apple/pear notes. The taste is tart and citric, with some pear and malt notes at mid-palate, and a well rounded mouthfeel which made me crave this the more i sipped it. It stays tart throughout, but has a nice fruitiness and malt presence to countermand the citric tartness.

Jul 8, 2007 Bottle. Head is initially small, fizzy/frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy medium yellow, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain), lightly to moderately yeasty (cobwebs), with notes of lemon zest, clove, apple skin, banana. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively/fizzy carbonation. Not sour enough IMHO, but still nicely balanced. The aroma is quite nice for the style, though certainly showing a fair bit of Weissbier character.
