on tap 9/3/2009 at papago...
hazy pale yellow color with a very short lived white head.
there is a light pale graininess on the nose followed by soured milk and lemon. in the far back is a mineraly funk which goes unnoticed until the beer warms a touch.
the flavor is the same along with herbal grassy notes and some white peppercorn.
it is light to medium bodied and prickly from the tartness yet it creates a phlegmy film in the throat. it’s refreshingly delicious when cool but, as it warms, it becomes a bit watery and boring. 7/4/7/3/15/3.6
the red raspberry syrup smells and tastes artificial though noted is a woodiness akin to real seeds?. it actually adds tartness to an otherwise tart drink (yay!) but creates a fake sugary mouth feel. 3.6
the green woodruff syrup kicks much ass... it smells herbaceous and of cocoa butter. it tastes of vanilla christmas cakes, green dyed cherries and artificial vanilla flavored marshmallows! also, it adds a richness and depth to the texture. cool! 3.9

Dec 25, 2009 Pours a hazy urinish yellow with a small fizzy white head. Lots of carbonation, and a fair amount of sediment. Aroma is of wheat, spice, funk, and dirt. The aroma wasn’t all that appealing. Sort of smelled like the floor of a barn. Taste starts off with a lot of yeast, wheat, and earthiness. Somewhere in the middle is a very tart fruit taste. It then ends with a lot of spice and funk. Lingering spicy and dirty taste. Has a very sweet underlying taste, that blends well with the wheat and tartness. As it warms up, a lot more tartness comes through. Mouthfeel is light and very carbonated. I enjoyed it.

Dec 23, 2009 Appearance: Pours out a clear body with just a touch of light, pale yellow hues to it and crowned with a frothy, expansive, white head, though this settles out fairly quickly.
Smell: Simply presents a sour, lemony nose with a teeny touch of white wheat.
Taste: Faint extra pale maltiness with a little flourish of crisp wheat. Hint of short-lived sweetness prior to the drizzle of tart fresh lemon juice and wave of lactic sourness. Small sip of clean, clear mineral water. Pleasing sourness on the light, lemonesque finish.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-high carbonation.
Drinkability: Immensely refreshing, made all the moreso with its mere hint of alcohol at 3.8%. It’s good to see somebody over here trying to keep this style alive. This would serve as a fine Summertime beverage, but did just fine as a kick start to a local Christmas gathering.

Dec 21, 2009 On tap at The Bruery tasting room. Very crisp lemonesque flavor. A bit tart but not too much. Very easy to drink. Really flavorful. Extremely refreshing. One of the most unique beers I have ever tried. I am blown away that the alcohol on this is so low based on how much flavor it has. This would be a great one to suck down on a hot summer afternoon.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle courtesy of thirdeye11. Clouded clear white pour. Musty smell that turns dry champagne through the nose. Some buttery notes on the taste with flat grain with salt. Peanuty flavor. Strange brew.

Dec 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a white head. Tart lemony aroma with some lighter wheaty notes. The flavor has lightly tart lemon notes up front and some wheaty notes in the finish. Really good. This would be the perfect summer afternoon beer, but still really good in the middle of a snowstorm.

Dec 20, 2009 Bottle from NickD717, thanks! Lemon, dust, apple and salt in the aroma. Lemon and apple in the tart flavor. Hints of melon and dust. Amazing drinkability. Thin, but lots of flavor. Very well made Berliner type weisse.

Dec 19, 2009 75cL bottle, no dates. Fizzy pale and yellow, stark white foam, very short retention but decent lacing. Very light on the aroma, some lemon rind and a slight lactic note. Very light flavor, little bit of malt/wheat with a heavy lacto finish. Not exactly sour, it has some lemony notes but nothing quite "sour". I still love it and would drink it with lunch every damn day if I could.

Dec 18, 2009 Interesting beer. A tart wheat is a good description. Pours cloudy blonde with a thick white head. Aroma of lemon, wheat, and some funk. The beer is tart, but the mellow wheat also comes through. Interesting and a complex brew for 3.1%.
