Berliner Kindl Weisse

Brewed by Berliner Kindl Brauerei (Oetker Group)
Style: Berliner Weisse
Berlin, Germany

330ml bottle. Pale, hazy yellow in oclour with a tight, long lasting white head. Tart, lemon aroma. Very sharp, bitter apple and preserved lemon flavour with an acidic finish. A bit crude.

A bottle 0.33L tasted at Pikkulintu. Mild roasty nose with some cellar notes. Hazy golden yellow colour. Pale head. Sour taste. Not very sweet. Slight hints of honey in the nose.

Appearance: cloudy pale yellow, almost looked like lemon juice. Poured with a small head, which all but disappeared after the first few sips. Smell: smelt similar to champagne, with a clear lemon aroma. Distinctive sour notes. Taste: incredibly sharp, to the point of making my eyes water a bit! Very obvious sourness to the flavour, which is cutting from the start. There is also a subtle floral taste to it. Mouthfeel: The sharp sourness makes the mouth water; it felt almost like my salivary gland were going to fail. Drinkability: The drinkability is low in my opinion, this is due to the intense sourness of the beer, which makes it hard to drink. Not my type of beer but does have some positives, most notability the subtle floral taste, which unfortunately, to a certain extent is masked.

I can see the ratings and I am not understanding it! I loved this beer, though to me, it tasted more like a sour/dry champagne. It was pale and clear. Very lively with a delicate head. I had it poured from the bottle and the Himber raspberry syrup with it. I thought it was to die for. I want a case!

Aroma is with heavy marzipan notes. Small, frothy and green head. Fair lacing. Fully diminishing longevity. Clear, green body. Heavy sweet flavor with notes of marzipan and sweet drops. Light to medium palate.

50 cl bottle. Cloudy yellow with big white head. Flavour is very sour and acid, kills the yeast/wheat/banana flavour.
