Berliner Kindl Weisse

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

A hazy orange beer with a fast disappearing head. The aroma is sweet with quite a lot of wheat, but also a slight acidity. The flavor is acidicly fresh with notes of grapefruit. The acidity draws out some mouthwater. But it also has light notes of wheat. A very refreshing beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) To drink pure Berliner Weisse is not quite as extreme as drinking Gueuze - but it comes close. It is a strange brew indeed. Oddly, pale hazy with an almost absent absent head. "Prickly and tart" the back-label claims which is very close to the point. Weird lactic taste and no real sense of malt or hops. I don’t believe this ever becomes a favourite of mine. 140100

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a huge white head. Wheat and slight acidic nose. Flavour is citric/acidic with a mellow wheat note, has a mild malt base too. Finish is much the same way, not unpleasant. I’ve had this in Berlin as well, pure - which raised an eyebrow.

Bottled. Pale yellow, hazy with shallow head. Acidic raspberry aroma which is bordering to a hint of raisiny malta. Light bodied and crisp, refreshing and lemony, but slightly papery. Black cherry finish.

Bottle. Alc. 3,0% Clear light yellow color with a average frothy fair lacing mostly lasting white head. Aroma is moderate malty, boiled rice. Flavor is light sweet and acidic with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft.

Bottle. 2.7% Yellow colour, quite sparkly. Bready aroma. Flavour is slightly acidic and quite dry. Aftertaste reveals the low ABV. A bit like artificial sweetener. I can see why they put syrup in this. Refreshing, I might be able to get used to it.

Bottled. Golden hazy colour, mediumsized head. Aroma sweet fruits, hops and wheat. Very sweet, but extremely dry lemon in flavour. Extreme dryness. Like a very good cider, more than a beer. Aftertaste of fruit and wheat.

Bottled. Cloudy yellow coloured with a small off white head. Acidic aroma with notes of malts and corn. Sour flavour with notes of lemon. Very unpleasant.
