Commercial Description:
This beer is an adaptation of a wheat beer brewed in Berlin known as a Berliner weiss. This is a cloudy blond coloured beer lightly tinted by the fruits which are steeped in it: either strawberry, raspberry or blueberry depending on the time of year. It is a highly acidic beer due to the lactic fermentation which takes place. Its aromas are acid, tart, and fruity.A light tasting beer, its acidity is quickly felt on each side of the tongue before leaving all the room for the wonderful fruity taste.

A hazy pink beer with a small disappearing pink head. The aroma contains notes of wood, raspberries, and pink grapefruit. The flavor has a nice sourness with notes of wood and raspberries. They could learn something in Berlin from this brew!

Tap. Beautiful bright ruby red in colour, medium sized lasting pink head, some lace. The aroma was of sour raspberries, tart, acidic, some lemon and wheat. The flavour was tart and sour, lots of raspberries, soft and perfumy, acidic. Dry mouthfeel, medium body, high carbonation. Finishes with a lingering sourness. Very refreshing.

Can’t think of what I’d rather have on a hot patio. Fantasticly pinkish to ruby red with fresh raspberries bursting forth. Great tart sour cuttingly refreshing beer that lingers lovingly.

Bloody ruby red. Nectar for eyes of local Vampires if there are any . Creamy, silky soft raspberry aroma, gentle, refreshing nose. Very good . This Berliner is quiet tart as it should be , add milky vanilla . I must say again how soft and gentle the texture was . Very decent brew.

Draught at the brewpub
Bright ruby red, light lacing and light head. The nose is lightly tart, some fruit and light malt. The flavor is nicely tarty as well, some sweetness. Good and satisfying. This rating really reminds me that I’m no poet.

"Hey pass me that kool-aid" Thats what I heard some ratebeerian yell to me as I sat down with this very nice looking red weisse. I kinda felt girly drinking this as everyone else was still drinking thier quintessence and peche mortels, but Im glad to see a lot of others got to try this and liked it. Pure deep pink, Light red with an ok whitish pink head. Lots of raspberry in the aroma, with some small hints of lactobacillus and a bit of acidity, but also kinda sweet. Flavor was very well balanced between a sweet and tart raspberry and a nice berliner-like sourness. Finishes dry crisp and refreshing. This was a good one to start out with while at DDC. Ive only had a couple real berliner weisse’s in germany but this one seemed less sour than some authentic ones.

Deep, glowing red-brown. Cloudy w/ pink, frothy foam. Tart fresh raspberry aroma w/ notes of iron & oak. Light, acidic, refreshing feel. Tart raspberry flavour w/ wheaty undertones. Finish is very dry & acidic. Well-done.
