kappldav123	3.1 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Old bottle - thanks to quack-duck for that beer! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass not too zippy, very small head. Mild sourish-old aroma. Starts mild, not too sourish, light notes of lemon. Old-dusty-earthy notes. Mild spicy. Also some nutty hints. Finish metallically. Probably over its top, but still an interesting beer. Saturday, June 11, 2016

EAGLE82	1.6 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Berliner Weisse for me cannot really even be considered a beer in General. However this version is worse than most other I’ve tasted. I just don’t like the overall sour taste it has to it! Thursday, March 26, 2015
Erzengel	2.6 Berliner Bürgerbrau Maibock * Old rating, 50cl bottle, best before stamp: L 03.04/146. Frisch-raues Bier. Malzig, leicht süßlich. Unrund. Im Nachgeschmack herb, leicht malzig-süßlich. Ok. Monday, November 24, 2014
Erzengel	2.7 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier * Old rating, 50cl bottle, best before 12.2009. Mild-malziges Schwarzbier. Leicht trocken-malzig, keine Lakritze wahrnehmbar. Nicht zu tief, leicht rau. Malzig-trockener Nachgeschmack. Monday, November 24, 2014
Erzengel	2.6 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Old bottle, BB 05.2010, bought it summer 2009 in Berlin. --> 5 years old The beer is quite dark in the glass for a Berliner Weisse. Nose is caramel and malt. The beer starts very neutral. I remember the fresh beer beeing very neutral with only hints of sourness - and this bottle is the same. Only very few hints of sourness - not more than in the fresh beer. The body is caramel with a very watery layer. In the aftertaste smooth, hints of yeast, hints of sourness. This one didn’t improve with age - it remained on the same level as the fresh beer - not much bitternerness, not much sourness. 7/12/8/8 Friday, May 30, 2014
ThirstyBird	2.1 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Thanks to erzengel for sharing this 2009 Berliner Weiße! Pours a full orange color with a loose light tan head. The smell is caramel, cardboard, fruit, dust. The taste is as it smells with just the slightest sourness in a fruity ending. Light in body with mild carbonation. Not like any Berliner Weiße I’ve ever had.... That’s not a good thing! Friday, May 30, 2014

Jakob	1 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Thursday, February 14, 2013
cpetrone84	3.7 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original pour us hazy pale yellow with tight thin white head. Nose is light dust and a fair amount of cheese. Faint notes of salt, rather grainy in back with lots of lacto. Taste is heavy lacto, fairly sour, light lemon notes towards the back as the grain finishes clean. Light body very crisp carb and easy to drink. Finish is a bit light in the britches in terms of taste. Thursday, November 29, 2012
Kevnic2008	2.5 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier Clean black colour. Thin rocky head that fades quickly. Mild malt nose. Flat malty taste that lingers. Monday, July 9, 2012
Kevnic2008	2.4 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original A golden color with almost no head. Light tart malty flavor with a quick finish. Test of 11.10.2009. Monday, July 9, 2012
kiwianer	2.5 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier The body is red-brown. It smells malty-fruity, sweet-sugary. The taste is sweet-malty. In the aftertaste also a bit sour. Medium 11/8/7/7/11/7 Monday, June 4, 2012
kiwianer	1.9 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Die Schaumkrone hält nicht so gut, das Weisse ist nur leicht trüb. Es riecht säuerlich, hopfig. Geschmacklich ist es süß-säuerlich, säuerlich-herb. Fazit: Gefällt mir nicht fast unangenehm beim trinken. Test vom 3.12.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,6,6,7,9,6 - 6,50 Sunday, May 6, 2012
pivnizub	2.1 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Bottle (thanks to Quack-Duck!): Golden, almost clear, no head to speak of; bready-fruity nose, traces of oxydation; very light sweetish-sourish flavour, light bodied to watery; mild mineralic and fruity-sourish finish. Absolutely not convincing.... Thursday, September 1, 2011
culchiem	2.8 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier Draught at Zoo station Berlin. Black with a reddish hue, medium off white head. Aroma of toasted cereal. Flavour is light chocolate toast, watery texture. Finish is toasted and lingering bitter Monday, June 27, 2011
Koelschtrinker	1.8 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Extrem wässriger Antrunk. Das Bier ist nur sehr leicht säuerlich und selbst dies ist nur hintergründig erkennbar. Jedes 2. Weizen ist saurer als diese selbsternannte Berliner Weisse. Das Bier schmeckt zudem nach Alkoholentzug, sehr langweilig. Entäuschend! Test vom 14.8.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,5,6,4,-,5 - 5,52 Tuesday, June 21, 2011
HenrikSoegaard	3.3 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier Bottle. Creamy off-white good mostly lasting head. Dark red-amber colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Dark fruit notes. Moderate bitter flavor. Very week roasted notes combined with some fruit! Average moderate bitter finish. OIly palate. Strange schwartzbier but I really enjoyed it. Sunday, June 19, 2011
Beershine	2.9 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier Bottle from Aufsturz, Berlin. Dark brown. Metallic aroma is sweet and cola-like with ferrous/iron-like aftertaste. Disappointing. Thin, simple, and drinkable. Friday, February 11, 2011
Rasmus40	2.6 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier Clear red brown with a beige head. Aroma is sweet caramel and light roasted malt. Flavor is moderate sweet. There is not enough roasted malt and maybe because of this it isn’t dry enough and too sweet. 040111 Tuesday, January 25, 2011
fugitive	3 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier Color deep dark red with medium head. Aroma toffee, roasted, bread. Taste coffee, dry, bread, roasted. Wednesday, October 20, 2010
larsga	2.6 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier Biggish coarseish brown head. Deep dark red body. Vague papery mealy aroma. Dry-sweet wild berries and paper taste with faint roasty notes. Mild mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dry earthy papery aftertaste with mealy notes. Incredibly low on taste. A real disappointment. (0.5l bottle from Schönefeld Airport, Berlin. Label says Schultheiss/BK, and 5.4%.) Monday, October 18, 2010
Svesse	2.9 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier (Bottle, Aufsturz, Berlin, 22 July. According to the label now brewed by Berliner Kindl/Schultheiss) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with cola, chocolate and dark bread. Malty, roasted taste with notes of coffee, dark chocolate and cola. Leaning in the thin direction, with some sweetness and low bitterness.

bierkoning	3.5 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Bottle from Quack-Duck, thanks! Orange blonde color, head disappears instantly. Soft lemon aroma. Thin. Soft tart flavor with lemon notes and muscat grapes. Not as sour as Kindl weisse, but thirst quenching and pleasant to drink. Wednesday, April 14, 2010
heavy	2.3 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original 08/03 It poured slightly hazy golden body with small head. Sweetish caramel aroma, but very slightly sour. Weaker, watery sweet to sour flavor, also some vegetable notes, really very strange for a BW. Thinner in body with almost no finish, what left is some dusty sweetish aftertaste. They wanted to make a more pleasant BW for masses but they’ve only watered down something very strange and made it totally boring, slightly unpleasant with nothing in it that could make a customer interested! Tuesday, March 30, 2010
OleR	2.3 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Bottle from KaDeWe, Berlin. Fully diminishing offwhite head. Body is hazy, pilsner golden. Aroma of sweet buscuits, with a nutty note and a hint of caramelized fruits. Taste is rather bland, light sourish fruity, cider-ish, without the required freshness from the lactic acids. Low carbonation, very thin and watered down. Nice smell, thats it! Tuesday, March 23, 2010
Quack-Duck	3.3 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original bottle. Hazy golden colour, small white head. Malty and slightly wheaty with a dusty hop prodile. Slightly acid/sour with a lemony character. Not as sour as Berliner Kindl, a pleasant beer. Sunday, March 14, 2010
Marko	2.3 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Bottle from Bier-Spezialitäten-Laden, Berlin. Poured a hazy gold body with a tiny white head that went away fast. Odd stale malty nose, slightly rotten, ehh. Light acidic taste, sweet, dusty eggy. Unimpressive, like they wanted to dumb it down for the general audience, but ended up nowhere really. Dunno how this would function with syrups but on its own, it doesn’t. Funny really, the best and the most "genuine" of the three BWs I’ve had so far didn’t come from Berlin but right next door from Potsdam. Saturday, March 13, 2010

Fruity (apple) and malty soda-like aroma. Mild sourness, mild maltiness and hints of lactose. Not very good Berliner Weisse. Wednesday, March 10, 2010
FatPhil	2.5 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original 330ml bottle (Berlin) - shared by mjs - thanks! Pale orange, brief head. Sharpish orangy aroma, also a bit stale. FLattish palate, papery retronasals. BB 2010-04, drinking 2010-03, not as fresh as it could be. Simple wheaty body, grains pleasant. Sourness very muted, paperiness too dominant. Thin. A bit disappointed, this is quirky, but not particularly interesting. Maybe we left it too long before drinking. Tuesday, March 9, 2010
mjs	2.5 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original (Bottle) Poured pale golden with very small head. Aroma contained nail polish and malty.

chriso	2.9 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier Bottle at Aufsturz, Berlin, 21 March 2009. Nice deep red/brown colour with a diminishing white head. Slightly sweet with a subtle sour edge. Nothing special. Fruity but not very roasty. Light body. Didn’t really hit the spot for me - I prefer a bit more presence in a Schwarzbier. Friday, November 20, 2009
downender	3.7 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier Bottle. Dark brown in colour with reddish tones and a decent, off-white head. Dark chocolate, caramel and prune aroma. Rich, malty flavour, with nuts, raisins, liqourice, marzipan and chocolate. Finish was soft and dryish. Great. Thursday, October 8, 2009
downender	2.3 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original 330ml bottle. Golden in colour with a moderate white head. Sweetish aroma of spice, bitter fruit and grain. Light, almost watery mouth feel with grapefruit and banana leading to a dry finish. Tasted alongside the Kindl Berliner Weisse and came off worst on all fronts. Inoffensive and dull, almost like a watered down hefe weizen. Monday, October 5, 2009

austone	2.7 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original 33cl bottle. Clear golden, small white head leaving some lacing. Mildly sour nose with wheat and grapefruit juice, faint barnyard. Grainy malty flavor, some metal and mint, cardboard, pretty mild sourness. Light bodied, smooth lush carbonation. This ones got quite a lot of bulk lager in it. Alright refresher still. Friday, January 30, 2009
pnista	2.2 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Light pale yellow with a light white head. Open clean empty nose. Lightly wheaty. Empty light body with lower carbonation. Watery wheaty flavor. Slightly salty. Coriander lemon maybe? Very empty. Sunday, January 25, 2009
Papsoe	2.3 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Slightly hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma of yeast and a discreet acidity. Light body, dry but very discreet lactic tartness. No bitterness. A thin example of the style. 291108 Friday, January 16, 2009
henrikb	2.6 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Bottle - Slightly hazy straw golden body with a huge fine white head; Not very pleasant nor very fresh nose of very sour rye bread; Boring lightly sour body, quite big carbonation, strange unfitting malt fill; I get a little freshness and something right in the finish, a very light citrus touch but covered by way to much unpleasant malt fill. Disappointing!! Wednesday, January 7, 2009
MiP	2.3 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original Bottle, 3.3%. Hazy yellow colour. Small white head. Weak citric flavour. The flavour is bready and old tasting. Hint of citrus in the finish. This tastes like an old, bad lager. Very disappointing. Tuesday, December 16, 2008
yespr	2.6 Berliner Bürgerbräu Berliner Weisse Das Original 33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Mild cornish and citric aroma. Mild cornish and vague acidic. Cornish and dry into the finish. Disappointing and absolutely not sour. Sunday, December 7, 2008

The flavor is lightly acidic with notes of lactic acid, malt, youghurt, leading to a dry slightly tart finish. Saturday, November 29, 2008
DSG	3.3 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier (6/18/08) Draught at Bräustübl in Berlin. Not exactly "schwarz" in color, more like deep amber-brown, with a medium beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, maybe a bit of molasses. Sweetish flavor with roastiness, dark bread hints and later some light bitterness. Medium-bodied. Not bad. Friday, August 8, 2008
sebletitje	3.1 Berliner Bürgerbrau Bernauer Schwarzbier On tap at the brewery. 50cl mug, pours black with a thick nutty head. Aroma is roasted and fruits Taste of dark fruits (cherries / prunes) and light caramel malts and a little hoppy. Tuesday, July 29, 2008
