Bottle thanks for sharing this with everyone steve! The best Berliner Weisse i’ve had to date. Pours Hazy golden orange in appearance. Nose is zesty filled with green apples, lemon, orange peal, vinous, and wood. Flavor is mouth puckering like tart apples and this beer is so crisp and alive in your mouth. Really fantastic!

Aug 6, 2008 Acidic nose, lots of apple character, some melon, and a nice sourness coming through. Pours gold with a thin white head. At first this felt a bit sharp, but it warmed up to me, the balance of flavors seemed to come together, and what at first I thought tasted like vinegar sort of settled into a tart apple and citrus blend.

Aug 4, 2008 Thanks to Eric for bringing this gem! Poured clear, paler golden with a short cap of white head. The aroma picked up sour pineapple and a touch of passion fruit upfront with tart wheat and pale fruit skins behind.. jam-packed with character, especially when you consider the beer’s small stature. The flavor was tart and powerful with dry wheat and fresh apricot skin sourness throughout.. dry wheat on the edges.. apple vinegar came through toward the back.. tasty! Moderate-to-high tartness on the palate and entirely engaging throughout.. the acidity dropped a little on the back-end and left a bone-dry, clean, refreshing finish. Excellent stuff!

May 15, 2008 Sampled at Dickinsonbeer’s Hoboken gathering - hazy, fizzy golden beer - mildly funky aroma, with moderate peach and white grape tartness - really bracing tartness, with some mild fruit skin earthiness and a briny character - peach, grape and sour apple - it manages to remain crisp and light, while still greeting the tongue with the funky complexities and acidity normally reserved for lambics - how they got such complexity into such a low abv beer is beyond me, but this beer was fantastic.

May 15, 2008 Big thanks to Slander for sharing at the gathering last weekend. Pours a bright shining gold wiht a copper tinge to it, thin diminsihing head. Aroma is instantly sharp and tart with not only lactic acid but a slight acetic character as well, with green apple skin and malic acid tartness - hay, and grass as well. Extremely clean refreshing tartness in the flavor- lemon, some light metallic hints, more acetaldehyde- but somehow it works well- more we hay, some light cracker, and just an insane sourness in the end that I didnt expect from this or any berlinner weisse. Easily the most sour and intense berlinner weisse I have ever had- not sure if it is traditional that way- but it sure is damn good.
