Commercial Description:
Brewed in memory of my Grandparents (Fred and Sarah Hottenroth), this tart German-style Berliner Weisse is as authentic as it gets. We used lactobacillus and a hint of brettanomyces to sour this very unusual, low gravity wheat beer. To cut the tartness for those with sweeter tastes, raspberry or woodruff syrup is a traditional way to sweeten the beer. Almost an extinct style, we hope to help revive the Berliner Weisse in memory of two great people (ABV 3.1%, IBU 2, SRM 2, Format 30L kegs).

Fancy growler acquired in trade with wetherel (thanks for sending this one my way!). Poured a lighter and hazy yellow color with a large sized white head. Aromas of wheaties cereal, citrus, musty, yeast, and citrus (lemons). Tastes of lemons, lighter wheatines, and fruity (apples). Light to medium tart and sour finish. Refreshing and enjoyable!

Bottle… Hazy, straw-colored ale with a huge, frothy, white head. The aroma is citrusy, yeasty and a tad buttery - notes of bread dough and lemon soar from the glass. Medium-bodied with tingly carbonation. Tart and citrusy. Even at 80 degrees F, the acidity stands strong and fends off the grainy sweetness that partially impairs my enjoyment of many Berliner Weisses as they warm. Finishes crisp, tart and refreshing. Solid! Thanks to giarcsr for sending this beer my way!

Thanks to hopdog for sending this my way. Pours a hazy amber with a nice, billowy white head. Smells of wheat, tarte, some funk, some lactic hints. Tastes of tarte citrus, wheat, lightly sour, lactic, salty. Nice!
