COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This beer is an adaptation of a wheat beer brewed in Berlin known as a Berliner weiss. This is a cloudy blond coloured beer lightly tinted by the fruits which are steeped in it: either strawberry, raspberry or blueberry depending on the time of year. It is a highly acidic beer due to the lactic fermentation which takes place. Its aromas are acid, tart, and fruity.A light tasting beer, its acidity is quickly felt on each side of the tongue before leaving all the room for the wonderful fruity taste. 5.9% ABV on bottled version.

Bottle pour, thanks Brad. Bright red, no head. Smells absolutely amazing, fresh raspberry pie. One of the best smelling beers I have ever had. Flavor disappoints, fairly tart but not a whole lot going on, none of the fruit that dominated the aroma. Medium carb. 7

Benzai (4345) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - APR 18, 2013
Bottle from trade with BOLTZ7555 shared with Joes and Dutchdrebus. Hazy opaque red color, small white head. Smells very sweet, like lemonade. Taste however is more sour, with a background touch of sweetness and clearly raspberry. Still, a very belanced beer and I quite like it. Good balance, good body, good carbonation. Nice!

Viper666 (2706) - Saint-Hubert, Quebec, CANADA - APR 8, 2013
Dégustée en fût sur place sur Laurier. de couleur rouge-rosée et voilée. Nez fruité moyennement sûr aux notes acides (framboises, petites notes de cerises sûres), moyen de blé sûr avec de faibles notes de levures fruitées. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort et une texture légèrement sirupeuse. Goût de levures fruitées moyennement sûres et acides et légèrement sucrées (framboises, petites notes d’autres petits fruits rouges telles que des cerise sûres ainsi que des notes de lime, qui dure toute la gorgée) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de blé sûr et assez sec qui vient compléter la gorgée avec une très légère amertume de levure. Post-goût long et un peu sec, moyennement aigre de blé et de fruits (framboises). (2006)

Hoppypocket (112) - Trois-rivieres, Quebec, CANADA - APR 6, 2013
Bottle. Pours a beautiful hazy bright red with pink head that falls quickly. Arroma is a big raspberry puree with some evidence of funk. Taste starts with a load of tart raspberrys, then some lactic sourness, a bit a of yougourt-like tartness, wheat malt. Medium-low mouthfeel with lively carbonation. Easy to drink and very refreshing. Can’t wait to buy load of this for this summer.

womencantsail (6896) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - FEB 22, 2013
Hazy red pour with a pink-white head. Excellent raspberry aroma, grassy, and plenty of lemon and lactic tartness. Mild fruit sweetness and a little bit of grape/rose wine character. Excellent tartness all the way through the sip. Plenty of raspberry and red grape flavor. Nice grass, lots of lemon, some yogurt, and a light sweetness, but finishes dry.
