UPDATED: DEC 17, 2022 Keg at Bishops Arms, Gustav Adolf Malmo, 18/11/22. Lightly hazed golden yellow with little in the way of a head. Nose is pissy green berries, funk, wood must, dirty earthy notes. Taste comprises lemon rind, herb, funk, hedgerow, green berry must, vinous, damp cloth. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a good puckering kiss. Solid work for just 3.5% ABV.

UPDATED: NOV 22, 2022 Tap@Bishops Arms Gustav Adolfs Torg, Malmö, Sweden (18/11/2022) - golden yellow with a white ringed head. Tart fruity with bites of orchard fruit, barnyard, horse blanket, funky tunes, straw, hay, medium body, oak washed fruity tart close. Very nice.

UPDATED: APR 16, 2022 Subtle and pleasant. Bread yeast, lime and citrus. A little grapefruit. Golden pour with good head. More grapefruit on the finish, and some unripe tangerine. Quite rich for style. Tap at Sovereign.

UPDATED: SEP 6, 2020 bottle. Pours clear yellow, small fizzy white head, fades to nothing. Aroma is buggy, citric, tart, mineral. Flavor is medium tart, lemony, brett earthy funk. Light body, spritzy carbonation.

UPDATED: JUL 24, 2020 bottle - from Tavour, shared. Incredible Berliner. super complex zesty and sour. conditioned beautifully. loved it!

UPDATED: APR 8, 2020 (750ml bottle sample @ La Souche Limoilou, Quebec City, Nov 12/19) Pours slightly hazy pale yellow with a small white head. Notes of musty funk, attic, lemon zest, light moderate lactic acid, white wine must, olid slightly cheesy hops and a bit of hay, light cereals, moderate drying wood, the soft tartness fading into a dry mineral woody finish with a little persistent funk. Light body with low to moderate bottle conditioned carbonation. Feels like a meerts type thing for sure, very interesting for a 3.5% brew as it's very drinkable but fairly complex.

UPDATED: JUL 22, 2019 750ml bottle. Poured a hazy yellow color with a thin sized head. Citrus, funky, wheat, wood and damn good for low alcohol beer.

UPDATED: DEC 27, 2018 750 ml bottle shared by Jared - thanks again, Jared! 2017 vintage. Pours a barely cloudy white wine color with minimal head. Very light looking, which wasn't entirely surprising. Almost lambic-like, with its musty funk, lemon, grape skins, oak, and minerals, with some faint wheat and straw. Light-bodied, with a dry, tart mouthfeel. Really interesting. I've never heard of this brewery but I'll have to explore more. I also didn't realize there were so many versions of Berliner Messe, but this one had nothing on the label indicating that it was some variant.

UPDATED: DEC 16, 2018 Bottle thanks to Ben. Pours a hazy yellow with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is funk, oak, lemon zest, wheat. Slick body, funky, citrus, wheat, nice tartness, enjoyed this.

Bottle poured at GABF 2018 with Paul and Andrew. Pours a pale body with soft cloudiness. Nose is sour peach rings, white grape and wine barrel. Mouthfeel is soft overall with notes of muted sour fruit, faint hints of lambic and minimal acidity.
