Bayerischer Bahnhof Berliner Style Weisse

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

Bottle. This stuff is damn tasty. Aroma lightly fruity (apple, pear), sourness in the area of cider, some champagne as it rushes toward the mouth. Flavor is unbelievable, especially for 3%, tart, citric, wine, mild fruity earthiness, more apple-pear fruit, some lemon, grape. And wow is it delightful in the mouth, resting like a feather, tickling the tongue as though mildly perturbed by a breeze. If only it cost a touch less, I would no longer have need for water.

Bottle thanks to SoLan!
Opaque straw/gold, fizzy white head that’s gone pretty quickly. Nose is quite tart, lots of green apple and white grape, heavy wheat, and some weak lactic notes. Huge wheat flavor rolls into grape and lemon, then some milk and biscuit, then back into more wheat. Love that! Palate is a little soft and quite short, but given that this one is more grainy and less tart, it suits. Not very hardcore sour, but very enjoyable and "alive." And all at 3%, meaning you can session this one long into a Summer night.

Bottle - Beautiful slightly hazy pale golden body, very little sparkle, huuuge lasting white head; Very fine super, super elegant nose, superb balance between light sweetness and light acid; The body is very fine as well, thin elegant texture and a very fine bubbled carbonation, superb balance with a fine acid touch; It evolves fine into a long finish with a very little unfitting grain aroma, otherwise it has the same elegance and finish as the rest of the beer. Super beautiful, super fine and truly amazing!

Bottle from Knightly Spirits. Pours a honey-blonde color that is dark and murky with delicious-looking floating sediment. The nose is sweet with orange peel notes. Flavors are puckery, yet refreshing with more citrus, starfruit, and sublte grains. Lively carbonation and lite body. This beer is truly a superb representation of this style and is highly underrated.

The aroma is pure heaven - wet grain, lactic sour milk, a bit of diaper. The pale color is lovely, the carbonation perfect, the wispy bottle conditioning near the end of the botttle -- all excellent and as should be. A touch watery on the body, but I’m not to the end of the pour yet. OK, there we go, a bit thicker (only a bit) but the yeast clove components come out more. Sour from lactic acid. Just freaking DIVINE!

11.2 Oz Bottle. Fantastic tangy sourdough aroma. Bready, rich, and full of enticing, perplexing yeast tones. So primal and of the earth. An incredibly distinct fresh bread dough note, alive and warm. Pours a translucent mid-day sunshine and straw. Rimmed in a rocky, opalescent white soap. Flavor is wonderful and as expected. A gentle sour tang lays on the tongue and then slides gracefully through some rich, grainy sugars to a light lemon snap on the back end. It’s just great, with the soft wheat sugars and bread flowing throughout and making a great accent counterpoint to the faintest hop crisp back end. Not sweet, not distractingly thin. Perfectly drinkable. I wish I was quaffing this in a biergarden in Berlin in July. Delightful little dapplings of lemon zest and pith mingle with the sugars and the tang. I could have used maybe a nip more sourness and carbonation but other wise this great stuff. Thanks so much Andy!

Draft. Pale yellow, fizzy head, clear, almost sparkling body. Soft aroma of straw and citrus. The flavor is tart and dry, but not so much that it makes you pucker because of a slightly sweet underbelly. Watery texture, thin body. All these individual characteristics would seem to add up to an inferior beer. Instead, the delicate aromas and flavors make for a refreshing and enjoyable brew. Well put together and a delight to drink.

pours a cloudy white with a very effervescent look to it. lots of lacing and a small fizzy white head. aroma is of soft bananas and light fruit. moderate-light sour palate. flavors of bananas, lemon, and salt. quick, crisp finish. i’ve only had one other berliner weisse and i remember it being a lot more sour than this, but this was much more enjoyable.
