Bayerischer Bahnhof Berliner Style Weisse

Brewed by Gasthaus & Gosebrauerei Bayerischer Bahnhof
Style: Berliner Weisse
Leipzig, Sachsen, Germany

Bottle from Belmont station. Pours a hazy straw color with white rocky head. Some lacing and head retention. Aroma of peardrop, apple, clove, sweet tarts, horsey blanket and banana. The flavor is very similar with the "giddy up" coming through along with some tartness. The tartness is good but a bit mellower than traditional BW sampled before. I like it but the aroma of the beer is a bit offensive. Tried with traditional syrups after intial tasting. The woodrup syrup is best with this brew, raspberry not bad too. I will revisit come warm months.

Looks like a slice of lemon meringue pie when you pour it: hazy yellow bottom, white top Lemony/yeasty aroma. Lemony taste. It’s sour as it’s supposed to be

bottle. pours hazy golden with white head. nose is sour wheaty, yeasty. flavor is sour wheat, yeasty, bread. refreshing, a nice berliner weisse.

Bottle and served in a hefe glass. Pours very very pale with a light cloudy hue topped by a lasting fizzy head and minimal lace. The aroma has notes of sour apple and lemons, wheat and pale malt. The taste has the expected lactic acid sourness in addition to husky grains and wheat in the background. The mouth feel is sprite and quite refreshing with a dry finish. It is what it is, a light refreshing lower alcohol brew. I would rather a good Berliner Wieß straight up without any syrup, thank you.

Sampled picnic-style in the car (hey, it’s 3%) on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Hazy pale. Tart, lemomy-cidery nose. Tart but smooth on the palate with lemony accents and a clean maltiness. Quick, simple take on the style.

11.2oz bottle, no date. This is almost as light as the Pabst Extra Light I had not long ago, though this does have a hazy whitish component. 1/2 finger short-lived white head, fading to a ring. Though it claims softer and more mellow, I can still easily pick out the lactic qualities. Also some old sweet bananas and lemony wheat. Flavor is that lactic acidity with some light old wheat sweetness to help cut the tang. Minimal amount of wet paper noted. Semi-dry finish that has a lot of wheat building in the flavor at the tail end. Light body with light to moderate carbonation. It’s hard for a beer to be refreshing when it’s 17º outside, but I can definitely see drinking this on a hot and humid Iowa summer night. Not too bad.

for 3%, it was packed full of flavor. simple, tart, refreshing. the bartender offered me some raspberry syrup to add to it, so i drank half with and half without...i think berliner weisse’s are going to be my summer beer of choice this year.

Cloudy, almost white like whey. Nose is banana tang, sour, and playful. Mouthfeel is spritzy yet soft. Funk is everywhere. Sour, tangy banana. Sourdough starter. Lactic. Perfectly weird, dry, and clean. So much character and only 3%. Fun and ideal for daytime drinking like a picnic or just stopping by the side of the road to share with a friend...
