Brewed by Telegraph Brewing Company
Style: Berliner Weisse
Santa Barbara, California USA

Serve in Bowl

Draft. A hazy light golden beer with a thin lazing white head. The aroma is slightly acidic with notes of brettanomyces and friut. The flavor is sweet with acidic notes of brettanomyces as well as notes of citrus fruit and some wheat, leading to a dry wheaty and slightly tart finish.

Yeah lacto funk. Hazy pale yellow in color. White head, mild lacing. Lemon zest all over this one. Great wild ale.

750ml bottle. Pours slightly hazy yellow with a big, white, long lasting head. Aroma of lacto, lemon, wheat, hay and light barnyard. Flavor is sour lacto, tart lemon with a mild malt presence. Light body with active carbonation and a crisp, refreshing mouth feel. One of the better Berliner Weisse’s I’ve had. A bit more body and ABV than most but still very drinkable. Not much brett character but I’m sure that would come out with age.

Nice sour wheat, kind of fruity floral taste, hazy orange colour. Nice tart finish, slight vinegar but not in a bad way!

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with faint white head. Aroma is tart, wheat, and sour fruit (lemon mostly). Flavor is sour light fruit with some malt undertones. Light body and warmth with medium carbonation.

750mL thanks to noodleuser. Doesn’t say Berliner Weisse on the label anywhere but about 2 seconds after pouring this it is evident this will be a nice surprise. Pours a hazy neon straw to near green with a medium Berliner weisse head. Doughy, sharp nose with mild green apple and sugary yellow apple. Taste is mildly tart with green apple crispness. Decent amount of lactobacillus sourness with lemon tea tartness. Neutral, refreshing palate. High effervescence. Good stuff.

Bottle courtesy of noodleuser, thanks Joel! Cloudy yellow color. Aroma of lemon and grapefruit rind. Taste is banana, bubblegum, citrus. Nice.

Lemon wheat aroma. Taste is similar. Foamy and really nice. Very nice beer.

Bottle. Pours lightly hazy yellow with a medium, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is light spicy wheat malt, sour citrus and herbal hops with barnyard notes. Flavor is malt with sourness and lemons, barnyard and hops with a dry finish. Light body and warmth with medium carbonation.
