Craftsman Berliner Weisse

Brewed by Craftsman Brewing Co.
Style: Berliner Weisse
Pasadena, California USA

Sampled at the Stone Sour Fest. A little weak on the nose. Flavors were better with just a touch of tartness. Heavier on the wheat twang that really showed that it was a wheat beer. Just OK

Greenish yellow color and completely opaque with a halo of white above. The nose was of hay, straw and cereal with hints of spice. Flavors were muddled, spicy, and grainy for the most part with cereal and banana lingering in the aftertaste. I didnt find this complex like a think a berliner weisse should be, but big props for trying. There’s a sligh tanginess but i think the grainy character overshadows this.

On tap at Stone’s Sour Fest 2008. Cloudy yellow color. Super easy to drink. Plastic phenolic aroma (in a good way).

Aroma is wheat, banana, and lemon. Yellow in color. Flavor is lemony tart with a little yeasty clove in the backround. Super tart. Super enjoyable!

Tenth sample Stone Anniversary Fest XI. Pours yellow with a bright white ring of a head. Not much of a nose for me. It was sweet and tart as the style should be. Pretty nice, not great, but tasty.

Tasted at Stone XI Party. Hazy yellow with a fizzy white head. Banana bread and clove aroma and taste with a lemon bread flavor to the finish.

on tap at stone 11th tangy, flavorful, I wish I had a chance for a pint as opposed to a 4oz sample. hazy yellow color, great sesssion beer.
