COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Napoleon’s troops referred to Berliner Weisse as the "Champagne of the North" due to its lively and elegant character. Today this style is described by some as the most refreshing beer in the world. Our approach was to brew this beer with Lactobacilius for a refreshing and authentic interpretation of a classic summer refresher.

500mL bottle shared by Bill. I think he said it was a little aged. I loved this beer, no idea for the haters. It was almost completely pale in color. The beer was all lacto, a weird milky and tarty lacto but none the less just lacto. It was super light, easy drinking, chugging would be fine. Tart finish. Loved it, just as a Berliner Weisse should be.

bottle... ugly beer, light piss neon straw, almost no head... medicinal nose, yum bandaids... tastes light thankfully as it can’t be that offensive despite tasting bad and as a bonus its thin... despite all this one of the better White Birch beers I’ve had

Batch 1 June 2, 2010 sampled 7/14/2010 Pours a hazy straw yellow color with a thin bubbly white head that dissipates quickly leaving a ring around the top of my beer. Smells of tart lemons, grainy malts, spicy wheat and a hint of funk. Taste is much more tart than the nose suggested with lemons piercing my taste buds with every sip. Tart lemons up front, some wheat malt sends some spice through mid way, a little funk in there and a long lingering lemon pie in the finish. Crisply sharp carbonation with a light body and a tangy mouthfeel makes this a refreshing warm weather drink. I quite enjoyed this one, maybe a little strong for the style abv wise, but it certainly didn’t affect my enjoyment of this brew. Great job Bill.

hopscotch (7272) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - MAY 19, 2011
Bottle… Murky off-white ale with a small, fizzy, white head. The nose is reminiscent of a Philadelphia-style street pretzel – one that is still fairly damp because it hasn’t spent enough time over the coals. Light-bodied and fizzy. The flavor is simply tart with a subtle nod in the general direction of sour. Crisp, tart, refreshing finish.

4/19/11. Bottle - my 10th berliner weiss courtesy mlunger12! Very hazy clouded yellow pour with a small fizzy white head that’s gone instantly. Aroma of faint lemon peel and soft malts. Tart flavor of lemon juice with a nice soft malt backing with a hint of some sort of plasticy/medicinal aspect. Not bad!

vtafro (1550) - Wayne, New Jersey, USA - APR 20, 2011
Bottle at Max and Jess’s housewarming. Very light golden pour with some white lacing. Some light citrus, lacto and spiced aroma. Flavors are tart, grain, and bit of citrus, but have some off tastes.

Batch one, bottle 353. Pours a cloudy yellow. Slight tart aroma, lemon. Spur with high coronation, a bit watery. Very enjoyable.
