Rye Berliner Weisse. Apparent Horizon was brewed as a slightly stronger, “Volbier” (full beer) strength Berliner Weisse, with a 35% portion of the malt bill coming from rye malt. After a mixed primary fermentation with yeast and lactobacillus bacteria, it was transferred into one of our original, 1936 cypress wood lagering tanks. An authentic brettanomyces culture was pitched for a long, slow, 9-month secondary fermentation. The resulting beer is a highly complex, spicy version of a Berliner Weisse. It features a moderate, but balanced acidity with notes of lemons and cider.

Bottled August 2015.
Pours a hazy pale orange with a fine layer of foam.
Smells of light pitted fruit, tart, woody, dry, aroma of rye.
Taste? Maybe the best Berliner Weisse I've ever tasted. Nice tartness, very fruity in a light pitted fruit way. Woody and dry from the rye malt.
Medium bodied, this is so tasty at the near 5 year mark.
Way to go Schell!!

For all the pretentious marketing the beer is nothing to speak of. Aroma is spice and medicine. Flavor’s traditional BW, but lacks character and depth. Granted this is a bit old (just bought it at the super market and kept it chilled), but still. Has barest hint of sweet. Traditional carbonation and body.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of light sour fruit with a decent amount of rye with a bit of wood underlying. Flavor has a good amount of tartness with a touch of acid and some sweet grains with a bit of rye supporting.

At all pints north. Dark yellow. Dry and earthy. Just a hint of sourness, so far. Light yeast, solid beer, but not so identifiable as a berliner yet.
