Formerly brewed at Southampton Publick House
Style: Berliner Weisse

Bottle at Paul’s Hoboken Gathering: Special thanks to whoever brought this rarity! Pale yellow- clear topped by a white ring. Extremely rich nose. Muscat grapes, apricot, vinegar, and a rich marmalade tartness. Complex, crisp flavor. Thoroughly tart and cleansing with green grapes, olives, vinegar and a crisp clean finish. Complex and insanely drinkable. I’m glad I got to try this stuff!

Bottle thanks for sharing this with everyone steve! The best Berliner Weisse i’ve had to date. Pours Hazy golden orange in appearance. Nose is zesty filled with green apples, lemon, orange peal, vinous, and wood. Flavor is mouth puckering like tart apples and this beer is so crisp and alive in your mouth. Really fantastic!

Much thanks to egajdzis for securing this rarity... Appears a hazy, light straw toned gold with a small white head that slowly fades into a mild cap and collar. Streaky lacing is left all around the glass. Smell is of wet hay, lemon zest, coriander, and notes of lemon pledge. Taste is of mouth puckering, zingy lemons, tart wheat, berries, and tart apples. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and fluffy on the palate. It’s mouth puckering, yet addictive.

Huge thanks to Mike for sharing this ultra-rare bottle. And what a treat it was. The funk in the aroma jumps right out at you as soon as you sniff, further rewarding you with clean woody notes, and a cat fur/animal kind of note. I guess that’s what you’d call horseblanket. Wicked tart when it hits the tongue, lip-smacking, though a touch thin in the finish with a bit of a band-aid note and lots of wood. Huge brett-like presence to this, all sorts of funk, all sorts of awesome. Thanks, Mike!

Big thanks for Eric for brining this one (and thanks to Mike for giving this one to Eric!). 12oz bottle. Poured a medium and hazy yellow color with a small sized white head. Aromas of funk, sweaty, lemons, and an all around tartness. Tastes of lemons, green apples, wheat, and some bready doughiness. Nice puckering tartness. Damn this was a good beer. I wish I could get this as my everyday beer!

Poured a hazy, pale golden color with a small white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of hay, barnyard funk, toasted dough, lemon peel, and toffee. Taste of toffee, and fresh baked bread, wheat, and a lengthy tart, lemon finish that encapsulated the entire mouth. Really unique Berliner Weisse here, thanks to Mike and the guys at SH for this one!

Much thanks to egajdzis for sharing. Pours a translucent yellow with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of green apple, tart wheat, lemon and sour candy. Flavor of sweet tarts, lemon, tart wheat, sour, apples, touch of berries, some cheerios.

GABF 2006: Lightly hazed very pale yellow. The aroma was sweet yet oh so tart. Notes of wheat and some fruit. The flavor was very tart but had a sweet component that tried to back it up. It was like the Sweet Tart candies I steal from my kids on Halloween. The picture to the left shows a bottle...oh I hope so.
