Commercial Description:
Huguenots may have originated the style as they traveled through France to Flanders, having first mentioned it in the 1600s. During their time, there were said to be seven hundred weissbier breweries in Berlin. Later, in 1809, Napoleon and his troops identified Berliner Weisse as the Champagne of the North. He requested the beer be served w/syrup to cut its extreme level of acidity. Bayrischer Bahnhof’s interpretation is a slightly softer, more mellow version of the “Berliner Weisse” style with a beautiful balance of tartness, fruitness, and sweetness.

Funky, tart aroma, lemony. The appearance is very pale yellow, hazy, thick white head, which subsides relatively quickly. There is sentiment in the glass, not sure if that’s normal or not. The flavor is lemony, tart, acidic. The finish is sour lemon, tart and dry. Thin/medium mouthfeel, more toward medium. Decent for what it is, this being an unusual style. Definitely drinkable (good thing it’s 3% ABV). Definitely works on a sultry eveing like this one.

Bottle shared by Hophead22..Diluted lemonade with a thin white head.. Smell is lightly sweet with some green apples.. Flavor was tart upfront with some citrus but finished kinda earthy.. Thin with lively carbonation.. Easy to drink.

#205 for this beer, funky little 11.2oz bottle. Pours like lemonade, but with a better head, which was very full and white. Sour apple aroma, a little sweet as well. Tart, and very dry, a little citrusy, very nice, I could drink alot of this on a hot So. Cal summer, not bad. (972)

Pours a dusty, cloudy light golden with a quickly fading white head. Very light pale grain, herbs and whiffs of citrus/lemon in the nose. Much like the aroma, there are notes of lemon/citric acidity, pale grain/wheat and grassy noble hops. I was expecting this to be sour but it was light/refreshing and crisp - ends dry. Light bodied with lively, small bead carbonation.

Bottle at Winking Lizard Crosswoods location. Clear light yellow pour with a foamy big white head. Funky aroma of lemons and vomit. Lemon flavor with some wheat and a very thin finish. Was hoping for something more full-bodied, like 1809.

11.2 oz bottle purchased at Royal Liquors in Kansas City, Missouri. Pour is hazed white golden with a bubbly 2 inch white - ever so slight greenish head. Nice lacing. Aroma initially of tart lemons, followed by a really soft spicy perfume floral wheat. Way in the back there also some peach sweetness. Very delicate nose. Taste is tart sour lemons and limes immediately, though this gives way pretty quickly to the floral wheat. The tartness picks back up in the finish, this time more as lemon peel. Palate is light, sort of watery, with moderate to high carbonation. These combined to make for a drinkable beer that went down super fast. Of the Berliner Weise I have had, this was certainly the softest on the palate, nice.

Bottle. Pour is very pale cloudy yellow with minimal white head. Aroma is lightly lemony, faintly floral, and a mild amount of orange. Flavor is pleasantly lemony and tart. Very mild and clean. I think I could drink this by the gallon; it;s awesome.

A cloudy yellow color with orangish hues and plenty of sediment. A fainty honey character in the aroma with a grainy wheat character. A little citrus as well. Mildly tart, grainy body with a fizzy mouthfeel. Very nice.
