Berliner Kindl Weisse

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

Bottle, no syrup used. Faint lemony aroma, golden in colour, slightly cloudy. Very refreshing, but not much flavour apart from the sourness, and not enough of that either. I was expecting more sourness.

"This was different, they poured a syrup, waldorff, green first then the beer. This beer was sweet. My friends were making fun of me saying girly drink. Way to sweet."

Baby bottle, smells like lemons and wheat, yellow with sparse white head that disappears instantaneously. It’s really sour, like if you squeezed half a lemon into a glass of club soda. Different, but good.

The aroma is a little like apple cider with some apple vinegar. There is also wheat and barnyard smells as well. The appearance is a cloudy gold with an average head. The flavor goes perfectly with German food like sausage and kraut. It is very sour with some malt and lemon. The palate is thin and the aftertaste is bitter and mostly dry with a citrus element. I had no idea how sour this was going to be and I was not impressed but as I kept drinking it I began to like it more and more. An interesting beer.

Wow, what a treat this was to get as a late Xmas present. Kudos to my buddy Pat for saving this for me. Poures a pale yellow, smallish white head. Somewhat sweet aroma...fruit, apples, but very light. The flavor...yikes...cidery, sour, maybe the twang of vinegar. Very thin mouthfeel with a peculiar citrusy tartness I’ve never had before. This sour son-of-a-gun is quite different. I’m not familiar with the "syrup addition" folks are talking about, but I’d be interested in learning more about it and (maybe) trying this again sometime. Wow, a unique brew for me!

Bottle. Clear light golden amber with a white head. Slightly tart, yeasty aroma with a bit of lemon. Tart citrus (lemon) flavor with some yeasty spiciness. Clean and refreshing finish.

Bottled. Yellow-white with some hazyness. Medium white head. Sour, lime-like aroma with some barnyard-notes. Flavor is acidic and wheaty with green apples. Astringent in the mouth. Although it feels refreshing, this is not my kind of beer. (051210)

Bottle. Served with woodruff, almond syrup. Light green with syrup. Clean, refreshing, somewhat tart flavor. Not a session beer, but completely quenching. Never had without the syrup, but I heard its not very tasty.
