Alround rating: Initally a bit grainy malt, lots of lemon, touch buttery, but its infinitly refreshing massivly drinkable. I ended up having about 2 pints of this stuff over the cource of the day just to sort me out and i should have got more. fredandboboflo (1417), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 11, 2009 Tap at ACBF. Aroma of wheat and tons of lemony notes. Flavor quite tart, but playfully so, still tons of lemon and wheat. Light-bodied, and rightly so, exquisitely refreshing. LilBeerDoctor (1526), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 22, 2009 On draft at ACBF09. Pours a cloudy light yellow with a small white head. Aroma is very sour initially with some lingering wheat. Flavor of wheat malt with a nice sour, tart finish. Very pleasant, easy drinking, classic berliner weisse.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 10, 2009 A Mes rate. Gravicask at GBBF. Hazy yellow with a thin white head. A straight forward but enjoyable Berlinner Weiss. Lemon sourness on top and a good chewy malt base. You know the drill, I won’t rattle on. Good beer. MartinT (5068), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 7, 2009 My Bottom Line:
(Taken neat) Wonderful wheat and crisp tartness evolve into a refreshing, dry finish in this spot-on Berliner Weisse.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam stays atop the white cloudiness.
-This is, of course, absurdly drinkable.
-The body is very healthy for a 3% brew. This is not thin like Berliner Kindl, for example.
-The sour mash is perfectly rendered and the resulting flavor profile is harmonious and levelled.

Pouring at the Night of the Funk event in Boston. Pours a hazy milky yellow. Light mustard aromas give way to crisp lemon in the mouth. Really tasty and very drinkable. I wish more brewers would make Berliners as it’s the perfect style for just about anything.

Hazy yellow color, not much head. Intensive sour grapefruit aroma. Sour grapefruity flavor. Big time grapefruit juice in the aftertaste. Very fruity and tasty.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 21, 2009 Sampled at Night of the Funk 2009:Pours a hazy/cloudy yellow with a thick white head (retains well). Mild wheaty and grainy aroma- not much lactic character but it’s nice and soft. Light body with a soft crisp wheaty back and some apparent lactic tartness. A simple and easy going Berliner Weisse- well done.
