Feb 16, 2009 From the bottle thanks to a Brian and Todd. I was pretty excited to try this, you don’t see many Berliner Weisses in the market. Light hazy yellow pour with a tall fizzy white head. Lemony sour nose, medium acidity. Soft wine acidic note and hints of citrus and cheese seem to come through. Really nice overall.

Jan 31, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a lightly hazy golden yellow with a small white head. Aromas of sweet lacto, citrus, and sour goodness. Flavors of sour citrus, yeast and wheat. This is my first Berliner and I must say, I heart it. Quite delicious!

Jan 31, 2009 Bottle. Body-looks like a Berliner Weiss-lightly hazy sharp gold with a medium ring of bubbles. Good looking Berliner Weiss. Nose-macro, wheat, light Band-Aid. Nose reminds me of a Pale Lager. Taste-medium sour, wheat, light citrus, sharp nice mouthfeel, dry, light Chardonnay, surprisingly good after the bad nose. Very solid. Beginning is Pale Lager, middle is greatness, and finish is Pale Lager.

Flavor is vineous, white grapes, oak, lemon zest, grapefruit, straw, wheat. Palate is medium to light bodied, champagne like, medium to high carbonation, finished dry, tart, and acidic. Awesome stuff, underrated!

Jan 29, 2009 Bottle from lb4lb - thanks! This one has a nice yellowish color with a sour/musty aroma that features a quality citrus/funky thing that really works. Flavor has a hint of oak and lots of citrus, sourness, and great acidity. Exactly what I want out of a Berliner Weiss.

Jan 23, 2009 Trade with noncaloric. Hazy pale yellow. Thin steady partial head. Sour aroma. Minimal other scents just lots of sour. Very sour flavour but hard to pick anything else out. A bit of a lemon perhaps and vinegar.

Jan 23, 2009 My bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of MrFacto. Pours a cloudy pale yellow-gold with an average size mostly-lasting fizzy white head. Aroma: Yup, that’s a Berliner Weisse alright: Tart, in a good way, along with citrus fruit, some pepper and wood. Flavour of sour and tart fruit, a hint of banana and some citrus -- it’s a bit champagne-like. Acidic and quite carbonated. Medium bodied. Very good and a nice version of the style.
