bierkoning (4920), La Tropica, Netherlands Sep 10, 2007 Updated: Nov 19, 2007 3rd LCRBM. This will get a re-rate soon, because of a trade with Der Doppelbock, but first impressions are these: yoghurt and, surprisingly, some hops in the aroma. Very modestly sour flavor with yoghurt, fresh cheese and traubenzucker. Citrus. Thin, but complex and delicious.
Re-rate: First rating was fairly accurate. Lychee in the somewhat citric aroma. A slight lemony sourness with tropical fruit added. pineapple, lychee, traubenzucker. Good complexity is this delicious and characterful beer, that is way less sour as the Berliner Weisse from Schultheiss or Kindl.
lithy (200), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Oct 6, 2008 Clear yellow with a fizzy white head and fervent visible carbonation. Dry acidic fruity character aroma. Lingering acidic taste some tart citrus notes. Smooth body and a strong lifting carbonation to a dry finish. Bockyhorsey (2029), Mesa, Arizona, USA Oct 4, 2008 Bottle, Aroma of grass sweet and sour. Yellow body with white head. Flavor is crisp and has a sour tart bite to start with. Sourness subsides for a tart dryness on the finish. Dry palate and good old fashioned beer belch to boot. Decent brew. scrizzz (502), kirkland, Washington, USA Sep 23, 2008 Milky yellow, lively head. Sweet lemongrass aroma. Wet, thin, barely tart, jiucy. I remember this as being incredibly tart the first time I had it, but this bottle wasn’t as dynamic. mdm46410 (587), Griffith, Indiana, USA Sep 22, 2008 Poured from a 500ml bottle and served in a tumbler. This beer poured a hazy golden with a thick, fizzy head of off-white foam and a ton of dancing carbonation bubbles. Solid retention, leaving behind some decent lace. The aroma of the beer was a simple blend of wheat, tart lemon, and grass. The flavor was similar but also displayed a nice crispness and a moderate sourness. Some lime and peach also show up in the finish. The mouthfeel was crisp and light-bodied. Highly carbonated. Fruity and refreshing. An excellent beer for a hot day. steview (779), Oceanside, California, USA Sep 20, 2008 hazy straw body, short white head, beads of streaming tiny bubbles; lively; sour-tart apples, wheat; good, refreshing.
