Aug 23, 2009 12oz bottle at KW group tasting, thanks to Mat. This one pours a slightly hazy yellow with no head. The aroma is really nice, slight dank, sour green apples, white wine-like a Reisling kind of sourness. Flavour is even better, very puckering sour and fizzy upfront which makes way for some grainy sweetness. Lingering sweetness follows a nice acidic finish. I can’t make the call on how true to style this thing is but I really like it and am happy to have finally tried an example of a Berliner Weisse.

Aug 22, 2009 I am a sucker for Berliner Weisse, and I love this rendition. No aroma, plain yellow color, but all the sourness and dryness that go with the style. If it was cheaper, I would swill it like frat boys on Natty Ice.

Aug 22, 2009 BOTTLE: light yellow, semi-cloudy pour. Nose of peach, taste is very sour, peach, fizzy, and a very light palate. Someone just compared it to a wine cooler - I like that comparison.

Aug 18, 2009 Bottle from Belmont State, OR. I went to this beer Mecca hoping to find a bottle of my old lover, Schultheiss Berliner Weisse. Alas, they had none, but an employee pointed me to this bottle. I was put off by the "peche" label but tried it anyway. Oh my, there’s that super-tart, high-pitched, tangy mouthfeel I was looking for! The peach flavor is extremely subtle, it really just gives the smallest touch of sweetness to balance out the sourness of the beer a smidge. This is the only American Berliner Weisse I’ve ever found, and I was so pleased I went back and bought a full four-pack. The ultimate summer beer? Maybe!

Aug 18, 2009 Draught at Birreria Paradiso. This is not a beer, it’s a wine cooler. Not so much a Berliner weisbier flavored with peaches, as a peach drink flavored by somebody who has been to Berlin. Pass.

Aug 16, 2009 Bottle. My first experience with this style of beer. Pours a pale, watered down looking golden body with a small fizzy white head. Musty, sour aroma with some fruity malty notes. Flavor is very tart, with some decent sweetness. Light bubbly mouthfeel. Not really getting any hint of peach in this beer. Not what I expected from this style. Interesting.

Aug 16, 2009 Very light yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is a bit stinky. I can handle a bit of bottle stink if it goes away quickly, but this hardly smells like anything. There is some sweetness, but mostly carbon dioxide. Flavor is water and vinegar. I can’t drink this. This is an epic fail from Dogfish Head, a brewery that I thought I respected. But you have to wonder if they taste this stuff before they sell it.
