Jul 2, 2008 Bottle: I have only had one other berliner weisse but I really enjoyed it, which made me seek out this one. The 1809, did not dissappoint me! The bottle has a history lesson written on it and its uses.... Cool in a dorky way... But on to the beer itself. Poured a cloudy/murky yellow color, big head of course. Smells fruity. Taste is pleasently smooth. A tartiness that I really like. Fruits and spices also thrown in. Lots of subdued lemon in the beer taste. The texture is light and easy to drink. Lots of carbonation but it didnt taste that way. Perfect for a hot summer day. I will never drink a nice glass of lemonade any more this beer will takes it place!....Overall a beer that I would recommend and would buy agian. A great example of what this type of beer should taste like! DAS GOOD BEER!

Apr 5, 2008 Pours golden yellow with a white head, very nice aroma of sour cherries, peach skins and raw yeasted bread dough. Taste has an immediate quenching tartness, very attenuated body gives it a watery mouthfeel. Delicious and refreshing, an aristocrat’s lawnmower beer. Love it.

Jul 26, 2008 The beer is moderately malty with a light bread aroma. The beer also smells a bit like hay mixed with some citrus fruit juice, mainly lemon.
It pours with an average-huge head that is white in color.
The initial flavor is moderately sweet and finishes sour. It is light according to the palate with a dry texture and the carbonation is fizzy. The finish feel of this beer is extremely dry!

Jul 18, 2007 Hazy straw colored, with a big white head that diminishes quickly. Interesting nose--sweet, fairly bready, with a twinge of tartness and maybe just a hint of bubblegum. Nice, quick biting tartness gives way to a complex cereal flavor--like good granola or meusli. A bit too effervescent.

Jul 7, 2007 Bottle from Whole Foods 14th Stl., Just a smidge better than the Dogfish Festina Peche. Specifically, the 1809 is slightly maltier and just as citrusy/sour as the Dogfish (they were tried side-by-side). A bit thicker and richer than the Dogfish, though I prefer the Berliner Weisses that I sampled in Berlin in June 2007 - the Berliner Kindl and the Schultheiss were knockouts!

May 3, 2007 .5 liter bottle from oaktree for $5.50. Pours a hazy almost opaque blondish yellow with spritzy carbonation, with an initial fluffy white head which fades into a film. Aroma is doughy, wheaty, phenolic, some clove, with a modest amount of tart lemony citric and lactic sourness, but it isnt as pronounced as I had hoped. Flavor is lemony citrus, with soem cracker and wheaty malts, hints of salt, and a light refreshing soft lactic tartness towards the end. Not as sharp as expected, but it is so damn smooth- definitley a nice interpretation. Im glad I bought an extra bottle.

Jun 30, 2007 Good white foam on hazy yellow body. Light lemony flavor. Sourness is very subdued, hardly deserving of a syrup to cut it. Drinkable; very nice.

Apr 25, 2007 Updated: Jun 4, 2007From a bottle purchsed at John’s in Iowa City. The label says 5% abv. I used a hefe glass and this poured with a light straw color that was slightly hazy. The bubbles were fast moving and this created a rocky textured large white head. The aroma is similar to lemon bread, but a little more intense. There is a hint of hay to go along with the obvious tart lemon smell. The taste is mildly sour with some lemon drops and a little bit of clove. The fruit esters come out clearly as you drink a little more, definite notes of banana and kiwi. This would be a great warm weather beer with the refreshing citrus and smooth, light body. Interesting and drinkable.
