The first days of Carton Brewing were spent tracking a bright purple path through our new building from our backyard mulberry tree. We decided that if mulberry juice was going to get that deep into the brewery, it probably should get into a beer as well. Stealing a process from Berliners, we let the lactics in a wheated mash sour up, accentuating the bright side of the mulberry’s profile. Meant for quaffing on balmy summer days when there is no reason to avoid direct sunlight, drink Monkey Chased The Weasel because there is more than a moon at the top of the summer.

Can thanks to Dmac. Pours a hazy gold and pinkish hue with small frothy white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is tart citrus, oak, and berries. Thin mouthfeel with nice tart lemon and berry with light dry finish. Very good.

Keg at the Pony Bar UES - NYC. Pours lightly hazed melon-yellow with a slight, creamy white head. Nice tangy cotrus nose, punches of acidic lemon. Light sweet flavor with crisp, bracing sour lemon bite, tabg. Light bodied with fast, prickly carbonation. Very crisp andd clean to finish with a strog but quick sour bite, and a more dynamic tangy fruit character, with more lemon but also peach and mango. Very tasty and refreshing.

A hazed blonde weisse with a thin white head. In aroma, nice sour epsom salts with light fruity notes, interesting. In mouth, a nice mix of sour mash, cherries, lemon juice, with a silky body, puckering.

This is a damn good berliner weisse. I went to a beer event at Barcade on a trip home to NYC and drank nothing but this. What was the point of wasting my time after I tried possibly the best American berliner I have ever experienced. I had no idea there was any fruit in this but it was great. Perfectly strong tartness yet not mouth puckering. Light as heck. I wish I could have this on tap all the time.
