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.

[bottle] Very pale yellow color, poured with minimal foam. Nice lemon and lactic aroma. Flavors are tart and acidic, but still quite smooth. Very fruity citrus and wheat character. Not harsh in any way.

Bottle thanks to Eric. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a small, almost no head. The aroma is fairly sweet; lots of honey and grains, and some light lemon notes. The flavor was much tarter; loads of lemon, acidic and citrus flavors. Some balance achieved by the sweet honey and malt flavors, lots of grains. Very interesting. Quite acidic but also very drinkable and smooth.

Bottle from West Lakeview. Pours a very pale straw yellow. Fluffy head that goes away. Nose is distinctly lemon, no barnyard at all (which it shouldn’t have), A little musty yeast and grain. Taste is actually sweet. It has a lactic taste in the front, but finishes thin and watery, which is disappointing. Far from over top, has a touch of skunkiness to the flavor as well. Kinda like a pale lager with lemon juice in it... Okay.

Pours a straw yellow-gold with a small oily white head. Cleanses the palate- I had no syrup. Smells acidic with a tinge of citrus. An exemplar of the style. I can see this one as a palate cleanser, but not as enjoyable as other ales.

Very doughy and barnyard tart nose. Lemony yellow color, hazy, small head. Mild tartness, nutty funkiness, not much sweetness or bitterness to speak of. Light carbonation, thin body, easy elegant finish. Very unique beer, almost like "gueze light", quite interesting.

Bottled sample via radiomgb. Very pale yellow in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas of red-skinned apples and malted wheat. A bit fruit forward in the mouth, with more apple and additional lemon and a bit of wheat. Somewhat tart, but not over the top. Fairly refreshing, but a little too fruity for me.
