Bottle. Poured a thin honey orange with a quickly dissipating head. Very bitter and sour nose. Sour mouthfeel which gave this one more of a oude gueze character to it, and not so much of a weisse character. Decent, but overly sour.

Pours yellow orange with a small white head. Notes of peaches and a fair amount of tartness. I don’t know if it was the peaches or what, but something about this seemed a but forced or artificial. Didn’t have the subtle nuances of some recent berliner weises I’ve had - NG unplugged, telegraph reserve sour wheat. had it at winking lizard and it came with a dofish glass. was with pampdogg and mr. pamp.

note: According to Nick selm, who has a swollen booty hole, this is up there with “Monk’s Café Flemish Sour Red Ale” as the worst beer of all time.

I liked this. Poured hazy yellow with a thick fizzy white head. Aroma of peaches. Tart peach flavor. Some lemon but more peach. Refreshing.

Hmmm. Not really good honestly. It does have a nice peach taste, but its not really something that is enjoyable. Hardly even a beer really, and not a good weisse. Worth a try, but not worth the price.

Split this between a friend while fishing. Had to try it because ive never had a Berliner Weisse before, i thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice tart funkness in the nose and every sip. Not a whole lot of peach really, but it was there, and balanced the sourness nicely. A good grab for a summer brew that refreshes well, while keeping a good taste at the same time.

12oz. Pour is hazy golden with no head. Aromas of sour peaches, citrus, vinegar, and some yeast. Flavor is tart peaches, burnt sugar, citrus, and slight hops. Easy drinking and very tasty.
