12oz Bottle from my main man Wetherel, thanks John for another top 50, he got this via trade with EDA and shared at my 2000th rating tasting with Kmweaver and his wife, my girlfriend Cyn, dalekliz, fordest, toncatcher, and wetherel. Pours yellow with a bubbly head. Nose is amazing, super duper tart and very appley. Taste is puckeringly tart very nice beer extreme in a lot of ways and overall awesome!

Bottle from EDA, duh. Well this was my first or second beer of the evening so my palate was very fresh, which made the sourness feel like it was taking teeth down with it as I swallowed. It is just so weird how you can say" shit, it is sour" and have the sour be more than just yucky sour so much so that you just cant take your nose away and you mouth as well. So my ratings dont explain much, sorry.

Thank you Slander. This is by far my favorite BW maybe my favorite beer overall. So amazingly, rediculously good. Sour and fruity. Peach along with the skin, apples and citrus. Sweet, sour and dry finish. I want more of this now.

Acidic nose, lots of apple character, some melon, and a nice sourness coming through. Pours gold with a thin white head. At first this felt a bit sharp, but it warmed up to me, the balance of flavors seemed to come together, and what at first I thought tasted like vinegar sort of settled into a tart apple and citrus blend.

Thanks to Eric for bringing this gem! Poured clear, paler golden with a short cap of white head. The aroma picked up sour pineapple and a touch of passion fruit upfront with tart wheat and pale fruit skins behind.. jam-packed with character, especially when you consider the beer’s small stature. The flavor was tart and powerful with dry wheat and fresh apricot skin sourness throughout.. dry wheat on the edges.. apple vinegar came through toward the back.. tasty! Moderate-to-high tartness on the palate and entirely engaging throughout.. the acidity dropped a little on the back-end and left a bone-dry, clean, refreshing finish. Excellent stuff!

Thanks to Slander. I loved this beer. Really intense sourness. I’m a huge fan.

Sampled at Dickinsonbeer’s Hoboken gathering - hazy, fizzy golden beer - mildly funky aroma, with moderate peach and white grape tartness - really bracing tartness, with some mild fruit skin earthiness and a briny character - peach, grape and sour apple - it manages to remain crisp and light, while still greeting the tongue with the funky complexities and acidity normally reserved for lambics - how they got such complexity into such a low abv beer is beyond me, but this beer was fantastic.

Big thanks to Slander for sharing at the gathering last weekend. Pours a bright shining gold wiht a copper tinge to it, thin diminsihing head. Aroma is instantly sharp and tart with not only lactic acid but a slight acetic character as well, with green apple skin and malic acid tartness - hay, and grass as well. Extremely clean refreshing tartness in the flavor- lemon, some light metallic hints, more acetaldehyde- but somehow it works well- more we hay, some light cracker, and just an insane sourness in the end that I didnt expect from this or any berlinner weisse. Easily the most sour and intense berlinner weisse I have ever had- not sure if it is traditional that way- but it sure is damn good.
