Aug 21, 2009 Bonused bottle from Cliff. Thanks!!! Seriously, the dude bonused me a want list beer. Awesome. Sunny yet tarnished gold in the glass, somewhat dry and footy with some dusty wheat on the nose. Actually sweet and reminds me of lemonheads. Not crazy tart, maybe the bottle is old because while it is quenching, it doesn’t seem to fit.

Aug 21, 2009 12oz bottle thanks to iowahawkeye. Nose is tart and with a whiff of wheat. Flavor is super complex. Tart with grape and spicy clove. Finishes with a bit of a hefeweizen flair and a slight sourness. Vanilla and wheat linger on the palate. Fantastic take on the style. Not as sour as the DFH Festina Peche.

Aug 18, 2009 Nose is about perfect for a summer sipper - wheaty, very slightly citric and funky. Has the bubblegum/banana of a Hefe back there, as well. Taste is tart green apples with hints of sour funk to finish, all of it washed through the mouth with lively but delicate carbonation. Extremely solid example of the style and another winner from NG.

Aug 6, 2009 12 oz bottle, thanks to Ughsmash. Pours cloudy yellow with lasting white head. The aroma is tart lemon, some hay, some cellar must, and some crackers. The flavor has a nice, crisp lactic sourness with a citrusy twang to it. Wheat and green apples float around in there, as well as a raw yeast note. The finish is quite dry, but with the faintest astringent note. Pretty good stuff.

Aug 6, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy of secret santa. Thanks Rudy. Pours a hazy yellow color wit a small white head that soon fades to a fine film. The aroma is mildly citric with lemons and a light funk. The flavor is similarly lemony with tart funkiness. The mouthfeel is light without being thin, the carbonation is moderate. The finish is medium in duration and tart. Overall: I love this beer, a very refreshing summer brew.

12/10/2008: New Glarus Unplugged Berliner Weiss has a hazy plae yellow appearance. The beer contains large champagne-like bubbles and is topped with a smallish white foamy head that creates good lacing marks. The wheaty aroma is slightly sour with some tartness and cooked green apple. I really like the great sour/tartness in the flavor. The beer is acidic with some slightly sweet maltiness in the background as well as some slight creamy yeastiness. The beer also has a medium-light body and feels effervescent in the mought. Overall the flavors are spot on for what I want in a Berliner Weiss. This beer is very good and meets my expectations.
12 fl. oz. bottle from buckybeer. Thanks Mark! Rating #248 for this beer.

Jul 19, 2009 Shakeyfest 09. Kinda watery but in a very pleasant way. A good amount of sourness to make it tasty, yet drinkable. Nice graininess and hay.
