Draft at Victory. Pours turbid deep gold with 2-finger white head. Nose was hopcitrus, mild spices and bubblegum. Tastes limey citric, with some fruity bazooka notes, spicy coriander, medium palate heft, and a smooth finish.

Tap at Victory. Low haze straw pour. Denser white foam. Nose is sharp lemon and tea with linen and mild detergent. Taste is a bit soapy detergent with thicker lactic acid and lemon juice. Palate is spritzy, sparkling. Larger dough and less sour than expected. Some sanitizer/chemical hints. As it warms the nose allows sharper peach and dried apricot. Still doughy. Still some small off flavors but enjoyable. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Dark golden color with a medium sized, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of toast, wheat, citrus, and some lactic. Taste of citrus, leather, tart wheat, and also a tart finish.

On tap at Victory. Served in a sample glass. Pours a slightly-hazy straw color. Nice light tartness. Crisp and light with a bit too much grain, but otherwise quite drinkable. Could use a little less straw.

On tap at Small Bar. Pours a hazy pale gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a bit of soapy floral with a touch of tart light fruits and wheat. Flavor has a combination of light flora and light tart fruits with an underlying sweet wheat.

Draft at Alla Spina with Linh before meeting up with pat and Zahra. Pours a light yellow gold with very light haze and minimal white lacing. Aroma is grassy, bitter lemon, pils, and pee. Mouthfeel is medium to light with a lemon tartness upfront followed by the flavors of grass, bitter pils, and pee. Tastes more like a light weisse beer with a lemon tartness rather than te soured Berliner I was hoping for...

tap at brewpub. hazy yellow, thin wispy white head, doesn’t die. Watery nose shows heavy wheat and toast, lightly lactic, egg. Egg more prominent in flavor, following citrus and dusty wheat before wheat returns. Mineral finish, watery throughout, nice but lacking acidity despite drinkability.

Pours a clear pale yellow with a medium white head. Aroma has some wheatiness and very mild citrus. Flavor is yeasty/wheaty with very mild tartness and lemony citrus...not nearly tart enough fo my taste in berliner weisse. Mouthfeel is light and lively with a refreshing fruity finish.

Pours a clear straw yellow in color bubbling with a white creamy head. Aroma brings some nutty yeast notes and just a tad of funk and sweetness. Flavor brings some light tarty sourness with a crispy wheat like presence and a bubbly body.

Pours hazy gold with white head. Aroma is grass, citrus and earthy. Taste is hints of sweetness but mostly tart and acidic. Light bodies with a thin texture and astringent finish.
