Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with no head. Aroma is very slight and is of peaches. A very tart taste of of peaches. I like this one, would be very good in the summer.

(bottle, thanks daknole) Pours hazy light gold with no head. The aroma smells quite similar to a cereal mixed with dried peaches and strawberries. There is also some tartness from the wheat, and scents of lemon peel. The taste is also very tart with lemon peel, a mineral-like quality, and some peach skin. The finish is nice and crisp. Thin mouthfeel with sparkling carbonation. Not bad at all, and basically all you could ask for in a Berliner Weisse.

Pour is a nice hazy pale yellow. This has been sitting in the back of my fridge for a while, and I don’t think that has helped at all. This smells like the ol’ pale lager, with only a sliver of fruit in there. Flavor is really bitter, sour and tart. There isn’t much flavor beyond that bitter-lip-puckering feel. It has the after taste of a cheap pale lager. I really hope this one was past its prime, because it really was not enjoyable. And yes, after checking the bottle, bottled date of 5/5/08 makes me think that this one was a little old.

Pale golden, hazy, foamy short head. Pretty refreshing, I’ll have to remember it for the summer. Lightly tart, almost too grainy. Notes of citrus and peach but the peach is not overdone, it blends into the tartness and is not sweet. Finish is semi-dry. Fizzy. Not as sour as other Berliner weisse I’ve had but its a nice summer drink.

20090114 12oz bottle, dozens of them. I’ve gone through many cases of this stuff and yet have never rated it. Huh. Well, simply put it’s a pleasantly tart, mildly fruity session beer. the funk is there, but subdued with notes of barnyard countered by light peachy sweetness. DFH’s assessment that this beer is comparable to pinot grigio is well said. Definitely more carbonated than most berliner weisse beers I have had, but that adds to its drinkability and compatibility with food. It is welcome anytime, but super refreshing and quenching.

Poured a hazy yellow with a small fizzy head. Taste is very sour at first with lots of peach flavor. More carbonation than expected. Overall pretty good, definitely different.
