"Some people paint, some sing, others write ... I brew." - Daniel Carey

A few times a year, we will cut Dan loose to brew whatever he chooses, uncensored, uncut, unplugged. Always handcrafted, the bottle you hold is brewed for the adventurous soul. This is a very limited edition and we make no promises to ever brew this style again.

Napoleon hailed this tart beer style "the Champagne of the North." A lively and elegant masterpiece this Berliner Weiss is a kaleidoscope of fresh flavor. Barrel fermentation, Pinot Grigio, Riesling grapes and Wisconsin White Wheat are bottle fermented with five proprietary yeast strains. A connoisseur’s rare jewel both spirited and subtle, enjoy your sparkling toast under summer stars.

Thanks For Supporting The Arts.

Bottle thanks to thecheeseman, shared with angrypirate06 and ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a large white head that leaves great lace over a haze golden body. Aroma starts off sweet with wine and wheat, and then finishes slightly tart with notes of wood and honey. Taste is tart and then sort of cloyingly sweet with rotten grapes and wheat. I am not sure that the fruit actually helps the flavor at all. Light carbonation and a dry mouthfeel.

C&PLYFOTD: Bottle. Clear hazy golden pour, thick creamy lacing. Sour nose, tart, with some wheat and grain. Tart vinegar notes, slightly fruity, some dark tones as well. Yummy, medium-bodied, delicious and quite drinkable.

(bottle - 12 oz) Lightly hazy gold color with a thin white head. Aroma is tart with a good wheat and grain hint as well as some very mild citrus. Flavor is very tart and sour at the beginning. A mixture of citrus, sour and earthy notes, wheat, and wine grapes permeate the middle of the flavor. Finishes dry and almost champagne-like. Very nicely done.

12 oz. bottle shared by shigadeyo. Pours a slightly hazy straw color with a small white head. The aroma is tart, grainy malt with a light citrus that leans toward the lemon side a bit. The flavor has bready, biscuity malt, but is more about the tart lemon citrus, yeast, acidity, and slightly floral qualities. Light-medium bodied, dry finish, and enjoyable given the style and my tastes.

12oz bottle 3/14/09 (Discount Liquor) Berliner Kindl Weisse Glass-Pours a hazy orangish with a decent white size head that dissipates into a small white ring. Aroma of citrus and yeast. Taste is of tartness, yeast ,and sourness. This light to medium bodied brew has a carbonation like champagne and is different but still worth a try. The only other time I have had this style is with syrup.
