The Tap Beerstand Berliner Weisse

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.

Tap at Night of the Funk. A disappointing berliner weisse. The aroma was extremely lacking, smelling significantly more like a shitty American light lager than the traditional German style it was supposed to be impersonating. The flavor is a bit better, with the requisite wheaty tartness, but there was a milky/lactose note that did not fit. Very unimpressive; they need to go back to the drawing board with this one.

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.

(Draught) Pours a cloudy pale straw body with a small egg-white head. Aroma of wheat, lemon, cereal, and subtle grapefruit peel. Flavor of lemon, wheat, nuts, baked apple, wood, earth, and minerals.

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.

At GBBF 2009. Cloudy pale gold, no head. Very cereally on aroma. Slightly biting. Decent, really interesting. Good cereal in mouth and good lemon finish

Cask at GBBF. Cloudy pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma of lemon and lactic acid. Thin and refreshing lemon juice flavour

Cask at GBBF 09 ....hazy yellow ... very light sour lemon nose ... sour and thin ... light puckering lemon ... more a lemon squash ... nice enough but a disapointing berliner weisse
