May 18, 2007 Pours a cloudy yellow with a thin white head. Smells lactic and sour with some citrussy elements and hints of biscuits. Taste is moderately sour with tart lemony qualities being the dominant in this beer. Very well done interpretation of this rare style.

Feb 14, 2008 Updated: Apr 2, 2009Wow! My first Berliner Weisse and it has my interest peaked. Strong pinot blanc aroma with some breadiness. Pours like golden champagne, large bubbles (which usually I hate) and an incredible fizzy thin white head. I think the pour fits the style exceptionally. I haven’t had any other Berliner Weisses before but I really like this. The sourness is very understated in the finish, could use some more, however, it builds as you drink. Medium dryness. Really tastes like a tart pinot grigio. Very smooth carbonation for the size of the bubbles. Forget High-Life... this is the champagne of beers. P.S. Sea Salt & Vinegar chips are a great pairing for this.

Apr 3, 2008 Great funky horse blanket & hay barnyard scent, with a little doughy yeast. Beautiful looking beer with one of the best white thick heads I’ve seen in some time. Color is golden straw & the beer is largely clear (with the exception of the final pour which is quite cloudy). The beer has tons of bubbles which is very attractive. I’m not sure I could ask much more out of the taste, it is very sour, very dry, and slightly fruity with great hints of cherry & apple. Palate is sharp with a great big mouthfeel (like a standard Weisse). A very good beer.

May 18, 2008 purchased from the beverage castle in tampa. aroma is very very sour and lemony so to say, it’s almost like sniffing a lemon. the pour is amazing, i didnt know what to expect but it looks similar to lemonade while pouring and then somewhat like apple cider. the flavor is identical to the smell, extremely tart and sour. it has almost a sour grape flavor with lemon juice. i love this style, it’s just what i was looking for when i bought it. great stuff!!

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.

Aug 9, 2008 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.

Jul 2, 2008 500ml brown bottle from Ron’s Market in Farmington. Pours a hazy light straw color with a good inch of short-lived off-white head. Smells fruity/citrussy, spicy, and slightly sour. Tastes fruity - citrus, apple, equally sweet and sour with a fairly dry clean finish. Light bodied with ample carbonation. Tasty, unique, complex, and super-drinkable. A new favorite!

Jun 12, 2007 Cloudy golden but very bright. Huge white head, fades, returns with a quick swirl. Lactis sourness up front, lemongrass, and faint yeasty wheat character. Flavor pretty much on par with aroma. Lactic tartness, sour lemon, light yeasty/wheat. Very soft mouthfeel, clean. Can see where people might mistake this for watered down. Very easy drink. Perfect summer session.
