Weft & Warp is a strong, Berliner weisse-style ale that was kettle soured and aged in chardonnay barrels. The beer’s acidity blends beautifully with aromatics from the chardonnay barrels. Best enjoyed fresh. (A counterpart to Warp & Weft, a tequila barrel-aged version of the same beer.)

Note: this version had no brett, whereas the 2017 version did.

Bottle from the source. Hazy to cloudy yellow color, thick white head. Aroma of lemon, light grapefruit. Taste is tart lemon. Decent.

Bottle - Tart fruit, orange and some funk. Cloudy orange with a decent white head. Nice tart fruit and the Chardonnay comes through. Very light and refreshing, but not quite the Berliner Weiss I was hoping for.

(500mL bottle from brewery) Pours a slightly hazed pale yellow-gold with a small, fine white head which dissipated without lace. Aroma is fairly lemony, lactic yogurt-like notes, slightly bready, with the white wine barrel character restrained but present. In the mouth it is quite sour-tart and lactic, lots of lemon, lightly doughy, a little malt sweetness too despite the sour/dry nature overall. The chardonnay and wood from the barrel build in the finish, but are noticeable earlier as it warms. Fairly light body with strong but soft and effervescent carb. Flavourful but fairly light and quenching, puckers the mouth without being too sour. Barrel character very well-integrated with the beer. Good stuff.

A hazed golden weiss with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light white grapeskin, nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with lactic acid notes, pleasant sourness, lemon, nice. Bottle at Spinrsx tasting.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a hazy dull yellow with a tiny head. Nose is very lemony tart, with lemon meringue and light Chardonnay barrels. Flavour brings out loads of tart lemons and dry Chardonnay. Very dry, lemony and puckeringly tart. Very light on the palate and not *too* tart. Excellent stuff.
