Draft @ Stone World Bistro: Pale straw. Big-bubbled white head slowly fizzles into a tight collar. Expressively lactic aroma displays notes of lemon peel, unripe melon, peach, and dough. Fairly musty with a dab of Band-Aid, as well. Brisk prickles of carbonation turn fuzzy as it hits the palate. Considerable bready heft, upfront, with a crackery pils malt tailing which yields to a lactic tingle reminiscent of unripe peach skin. Robustly phenolic with a tangle of Band-Aid and persistent dough and toasted crackers. Succulent dabs of honeydew melon and peach manage to poke through despite the bracing dryness. Suggestions of popcorn and husks exude here and there. Pleasant fusion of crackers and piecrust is cushioned by gritty pear and unripe peach acidity at the finish. Not a whole lot of depth or complexity here. And, relative to Berliner Weiss, I didn’t find this to be a particularly characterful rendition. Middle of the road.

Dec 6, 2009 Courtesy ChzMan. Bottle. Hazy whitish yellow. White carbonation. Nice lactic tartness, tangy wheat, popcorn. The popcorn is a bit off-putting and it’s not very complex, but it’s still enjoyable and real easy to drink. Medium/light to light body, balanced carbonation, tart and tangy finish. Solid session beer.

Dec 5, 2009 Pours a cloudy pale brew with a one finger crackly white head. Nose is acidic and lactic, mildly grassy, some lemonrind, some funk starts to come out with warmth. Flavor is very nice initially, first swallow reveals a very refreshing tart acidity, some lemon rind. However, after you let it sit you start to get some funky flavors at the back of the tongue, definitely popcorn jelly beans. This starts to become more evident with warmth. Palate is acidic and tart, very refreshing. Conflicted by how enjoyable this is initially and then the weird off flavor it presents.

Nov 29, 2009 Sampled on 10/30/2009. This Berliner Weisse pours a slightly hazy pale yellow straw color from a 750ml bottle. Medium sized white foamy head, with nice retention, and decent lacing. The aroma is tart lemons, some bread and some tartness. A medium bodied Berliner Weisse. The malts are fruity and tart, crisp and sharp. Nice balance between the tartness and the malts. Excellent carbonation. Lots and lots of flavor for a 3.1% beer. Excellent interpretation of the style, its not as tart as some of the others, you can drink this one without worrying about tooth enamel or stomach problems later… No not really but. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is tart.
