Nth TRIAL: Pours a brilliant straw yellow with almost no head; aroma is slightly of peaches but primarily of a scent that I always associate with deliciously sour; flavor is great lactic sourness with a touch of peach lurking somewhere in the background; the sour finish lingers on the palate as the thin body trickles down the throat, reminding you of how good that was and demanding you take another sip. Overall, I have to admit that I’m a total sucker for Berliner Weisses, and this one is done exceptionally well (in my opinion). I actually wasn’t a giant Dogfish Head fan prior to this, but forever pledge my allegiance to Sam Calagione as long as he continues brewing this beer.

Rock solid beer. I had to try it a couple times to enjoy and appreciate the style but i have since become addicted to this beer. On draught at Finnegan’s Irish Pub. They sold over 14 barrels over this past summer. Huge hit!

HOLY CR**! This beer was unbelievable! It’s the sour patch kids of ale! Never had anything like that before.....well at least in regards to beer. Otherwise, I’ve had plenty of Sweet Tarts, Pixie Sticks, and other kinds of candy that make one pucker!

Bottled 05/31/07. In the glass it is a sparkling gold with lots of fast moving carbonation and a bubbly white head. In the nose it’s incredibly funky. Moldy cheese, earthy mushrooms, fruitiness, barnyard notes, and a host of other complexities I can’t begin to describe. In the mouth, it’s bubbly and effervescent, with clean, lemony acidity and tart citric undertones. The funkiness is intense!! The peach is all but gone, and I’m glad. Intensely dry and mouth-puckering sour finish. After a year, this has done what I hoped - became more acidic. Another year or two, and I’ll be able to convince you that you’re drinking Gueuze! Funky, funky, funky. I love wild yeast.

Again, I wish I knew more about beer, so that I could leave better comments. This is one of my favorite beers of all time. I was really surprised that it didn’t have higher numbers.

Солодовый напиток сваренный с персиковым концентратом. Звучит не слишком аппетитно, никаких древних рецептов и горных источников, но Догфиш Хед в такой сомнительной «рекламе» не нуждается.
«Берлинское белое», почти исчезнувший сегодня сорт, во времена Наполеона называли «северным шампанским». Отличительные характеристики стиля это невысокий процент алкоголя, применение солода двух типов – пшеничного и ячменного, сильное насыщение углекислотой, а также добавление молочнокислых бактерий в дрожжи во время брожения, вследствие чего пиво получается игристым, с освежающе кислым букетом. Стоит упомянуть и уже устоявшуюся традицию добавлять в «берлинское белое» малиновый сироп или эссенцию ясменника с целью смягчения чересчур «дикого» букета.
Приставку «нео» (в neo-Berliner style Weisse от «Догфиш Хед») можно, пожалуй, отнести к использованию персикового концентрата, не применяемого в оригинальных «берлинских», да и Делавэр это все-таки не Берлин.
На вид пиво очень светлое, непрозрачное, с невысокой быстроисчезающей пеной. Аромат приглушенный, слегка фруктовый. Вкус очень кислый, освежающий, шардоннеподобный, а ожидаемые персиковые нотки проявляются уже ближе к концу, когда пиво отстаивается и начинает играть какими-то новыми фруктово-солодовыми красками, поначалу незаметными.

Pours cloudy yellow with a minor head. Aroma of grass, pear, and peach. Lightly sour flavor with peach, apple, and grassy qualities. Clean finish. Spectacular beer!

I love this beer. Such a great summer brew. Pours a hazy amber into the glass with a white head. Wheat and peaches on the nose. Tangy peach flavor with a wheat backbone to this brew. Delicious, crisp, and refreshing. I always look forward to this beer every summer.

I think this was my first berliner wiesse beer. I was awesomely tart/sour.... It had a light to medium body with cloudy...almost white look to it... This is definitely not a beer for the novice beer drinker.... it will take a developed palate to appreciate this beer fully.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden color with a nice bubbly body and head. Aroma of grass, lemons, and a hint of peach. Flavor is very impressive. Nice face puckering sourness ending with a nice mellowing fruity peach flavor. Very good, very refreshing. Spectacular brew from Dogfish Head. I never considered myself much of a fan of their offerings, but this one has me swayed.
