| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 11, 2004 Pours a cloudy light yellow. Aroma is a very well balanced berry sweetness and sourness. Flavor is a milder wheat, berry, with a mild sour. Great aroma but the flavor is a slight let down.
With woodruff: the flavor fills out and is excellent. biggcb (464), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 28, 2009 Tap (part of sampler). Pours a cloudy straw yellow color with an active white head. Citrus, dough and wheat in the aroma. Crisp and tart. Very refreshing. I could drink a bunch of this. No syrups. IndiaDaleAle (35), Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 25, 2006 This wasn’t a strong beer, but it tasted pleasant. It could steal Miller High Life’s position as the champagne of beers, it tastes alot like champagne. Very enjoyable. Almost no head, bright yellow color. Good stuff.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Oct 12, 2004 Kennett. Had this with both syrups and straight up. I’ve gotta say I liked the straight up version best. Pours light yellow with hardly a head. Taste is lightly sour and really refreshing. egajdzis (3640), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 11, 2004 Without any syrups, this poured a hazy gold color with a large white head and nice lacing on the glass. Funky lemon, and barnyard aroma. Taste was tart green apple, some sourness, and wheat. One of the better Berliner Weisse’s out there! DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 21, 2006 Hazy pale golden pour, with off-white head. Aroma of orange zest, clove, hopcitrus. Tastes citrusy and floral on the palate, with the coriander kicking in late. Pretty smooth finish. hopdog (5617), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 11, 2004 On tap at the 2004 Kennett Square BF. I tried this one with the raspberry, woodruff and no syrup. I didn’t care for the woodruff but the raspberry and plain versions were decent. Sour and tart. My first Berliner Weisse and this one wasn’t that bad (I’m glad I tried the 3 versions). ¾ (5009), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 24, 2007 Draft at the Bethlehem brewery. Cloudy soft milky ytellow colored body, medium sized bubbles in a white head, stacked a half-inch tall. Husky wheat, corn and lemon zest in the nose, with doughy yeast scents all over this thing. I could smell it from two feet away. Fizzy, watery texture but not exactly thin bodied, only a little bit pale and palid on the tongue. The sourness is not very well defined, it’s unpronounced, more of a lemonade juice sourness than a true lactic yeast sourness. It’s semi-tart, overall a bit mild, and it resembles a lemon soda at times, but it also has a moderately heavy wheat quality. Probably comparable to some of the more sour hefeweizens. Still, though, it’s pretty tasty.
