3rd LCRBM. This will get a re-rate soon, because of a trade with Der Doppelbock, but first impressions are these: yoghurt and, surprisingly, some hops in the aroma. Very modestly sour flavor with yoghurt, fresh cheese and traubenzucker. Citrus. Thin, but complex and delicious.
Re-rate: First rating was fairly accurate. Lychee in the somewhat citric aroma. A slight lemony sourness with tropical fruit added. pineapple, lychee, traubenzucker. Good complexity is this delicious and characterful beer, that is way less sour as the Berliner Weisse from Schultheiss or Kindl.

Aug 29, 2008 Bottled. Poured cloudy pale yellow, with a foamy white head. Armoa was yeasty, sour, wet blanket. Flavor was crisp, clean, citrusy. A tart, lemon cookie kind of taste. Dry, almost astringent finish.

Aug 26, 2008 Poured into a pint glass. Hazy gold with a large white head. Expectedly fizzy due to the sourness. Aroma is wheaty banana with a meringue note. Flavor is raw tart lemonade with wheaty maltiness and banana esters, some apple, a touch of clove. Very drinkable and crisp.

Aug 26, 2008 While pushing the ABV for a Berliner Weisse, this is still one of my favorites for the style.
Beautiful fruity sour character on the nose that carries through to the taste. Gentle sour character in the taste that is perfectly balanced by tropical fruits from the yeast. Very light tartness. Exceedingly drinkable. Nice carbonation level.
One of the most complex in the style that I have had and just a beautiful beer.

Aug 21, 2008 50 cl bottle. Poured a hazy golden yellow in color with a medium sized white head. Aroma of wheat, funky yeast, and light citrus. Fizzy carbonated body with flavors of yeast, mild citrus, wheat, and little tart funkiness. Very nice Berliner Weisse.

Aug 16, 2008 Not much aroma. A little yeasty. Looks like a hefeweizen. A huge initial head that disappears quickly. A sourness, but nowhere near the Berliner KindlWeisse. I kind of like it though - the sourness is stronger up front.
