Berliner Kindl Weisse

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

The 11.1 oz bottle poured an almost clear golden straw colored beverage with a small fizzy white head that was completely gone in 30 seconds and left no lacing on the glass.The aroma was dominated by sour fruit with some malt notes, toast and bread dough. There were no hop notes detectable. The body was medium light with lively carbonation and a dry, watery texture (if that makes any sense). The flavor starts with a pronounced sour taste. It almost made me pucker. The finish is quite dry and medium in length. Through the finish, the sourness softens as it ages on the palate.

This is a summer beer. In Germany it is served with a shot glass of either Raspberry syrup (which you mix into the beer) or a green syrup ( I assume it’s mint. I’ve never been able to find out). It’s refreshing on a really hot day. If drunk staight out of the bottle, it tastes horribly sour. Best beer I’ve ever tasted second only to Hacker Pschor Oktoberfest

Rwally not understand what was this beer about, the taste was like if it had some LIme juice in there.

Hazy straw pour with fine white head. A clean aroma, in the way that soap smells clean. Coriander, mint. Robust lemonade sourness, just a touch of toasted wheat in the finish. This is interesting stuff. My first Berliner weisse, and I like it. I want to try another one! This would be absolutely perfect on a hot sticky day. (A lawnmower beer if you will.)

33,ml. Pours bright gold, sparkling carb, frothy bright-white head that scampers away as soon as the glass starts to move (if not sooner). Super sour nose and palate, nothing finish. Not a heck of a lot going on here, and I doubt I’ll return to the fold.

my first berliner weisse. very interesting. a clear gold beer with a quickly diminishing sudsy head. sour, grainy aroma. flavor is tart, sour, salty, and soda-like. mild flavors.

Big thanks to Immy for coming up with this one. Pours a hazy, dull yellow with white head. Odd sour in the nose along with some soft spices. Flavor is more of this sour, which I can’t place, and a little acidity. Beer is light overall, but pretty intriguing style.

Bottle from Secret Danish Santa. Hazy light yellow with a film of a white head. Sour, dusty nose, wheat is there, but odd. Mildly sour flavor, can’t really taste the wheat, acidic. Slightly dry finish, with a lively, light mouthfeel.
