Chevy Chase, DC 500ml ($8): Pours a brownish cloud yellow with a minimal white head. Aroma is of sour ale. Taste is subtle, and just a bit sour and the sourness subsequently makes its way to to the aftertaste, where there is also a note of bread or something. Less fruity than I expected. Very light bodied, but never watery. Really, this beer strikes something of a perfect balance. This is, however, extremely refreshing and absurdly drinkable. If they sold six packs of this I could, and would, finish the whole thing in an hour (all my favorite beers are just hella expensive).

Appearance was golden with a slight haze. Billowy white head. Aroma was spicy, fruity and a bit tart, like sour green apples. Body had a nice wheat-smoothness, complimented by plenty of carbonation. Tasted great, fruity like the aroma, a bit citrusy, and also spicy. The yeast was definitely present, lending some earthy flavors to the profile. Finish left a pleasant tart dryness, asking for another refreshing sip. Very enjoyable.

Bottle from Wally’s Wine and Spirits in West Los Angeles. Cloudy gold pour with no head. Aroma of lemon, banana, and rotten peach. Strong taste of barnyard funk. This beer really tastes like like manure mixed with hay, mixed with water that came off of a just washed animal. Beer was slightly sour. Not as sour as I expected. Medium to heavy carbonation and a medium body. Glad to have found this one.

500ml bottle. Pours hazy golden with a short lived, thin, white head and lively carbonation. Aroma is of lemon fruit, barnyard, sour dough and hints of hops. Medium, tart body. Very sour, tart taste with hints of hops, while high carbonation adds to drinkability. This beer grew on me with every sip. I would not mix it with a syrup.

Tasted from bottle into snifter glass. Poured a beautiful opaque orange-amber color with chill haze and frothy white head, lasting with lace. My first Berliner Weiss; I’m impressed and intrigued. Some characteristics of a Belgian Wit: color, wheat tartness, dry, peppery yeast finish, but more intensely carbonated, fruitier, with pronounced sourness. The comparison to champagne is true, not just a marketing gimmick. Highly recommended.

4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Pours a cloudy yellow with a thin white head. Smells like banana, hay, citrus and funk. Tastes similar - lemon zest, wheat, a little bready. The funk did not hit me as hard as I would have liked it to. Lively carbonation, with a sharp mouthfeel. My first Berliner Weisse, and I am already in love with them. Hells yeah bitch.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Super cloudy piss yellow. Head died real quick. Nose is soft - yoghurt and maybe cherries with some lemon and yuzu rind. Good body with some straw and lemon and a moderate spritzyness followed by the soft to medium sour finish. Just a real easy drinking, thirst quenching beer. Good earthy quality to it.
