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.

Backlog night! This pours a really light hazy yellow color with a small head and plenty of bubbles. The flavor is pretty simple yeasty lemony and cidery. The flavor is cidery, lemony, only very mildly sour, pretty vinegary and yeasty. The palate is a bit watery and light but overall this is pretty refreshing. p.s. it gave me a lambic style stomach ache without much of the good sour flavor.... kinda lame.

Light copper color with a thin head. A little tart lemon in the aroma. Some dusty hay. Weak wheat flavor. Very light on the lemon and bitterness. Watery. Not much tartness or sourness at all. Nothing offensive at all, just not offering much.

Bottle at City Beer, San Francisco, 29th March 09, with Phyllis. A final beer before (just) making it to the airport! Almost a sour chaser after the gorgeous beers I’d been drinking. Piss yellow colour. Sour corn aroma. Flavour is pretty damn bad. The ’rotten’ character haunts it.

Bottle shared by illidurit. Pale with a lasting white head. Light tart yoghurt aroma with some grainy wheat as well. Lightly tart flavor with grainy wheaty malt. Crisp and refreshing. Light and fizzy body. A tasty, light, and refreshingly tart beer, but I can’t imagine getting this again considering the price.

Citrus nose and some tartness. Poured clear yello but had some sediment. No head. Taste is watery and not good for me. No taste, not tart, no sour, nothing. Rotten apples.

A very clear pale yellow color with small fizzy white head. Aroma of grain, tartness, and light fruit. The flavor is quite tart and sour, with apple, biscuits, and old funk. Pretty good.
