Bottle from Berkeley Bowl. It pours a pale yellow color with a tall white head that disappears. The aroma is bready with some sulfury funk. A little moldy orange, in a good way. The flavor is bready with some orangy citrus tartness. Light and creamy on the palate. It has good light, crisp tartness and solid wheat flavor. It feels really luxuriant in the mouth, which is unique for this style. Hints of sulfur and funk in the finish Really enjoyable.

Bottle. A- Latex plastic, tart, lemons. A- Pale yellow color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Sour, tart, lemon juice, plastic, subtle vinegar. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, refreshing finish. O- Just the right amount of tartness to be drinkable and refreshing. Paired damn fine with the spicy jerk chicken I made. Had a bit of that latex and rubber aroma but didn’t degrade the beer at all. Pretty nice.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours very hazy/cloudy golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white heat with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big sour lemon, lime, apricot, peach, green apple, white wine, hay, straw, musty funk, leather, pepper, wheat, cracker, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast and light-moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big sour lemon, lime, apricot, peach, green apple, white wine, hay, straw, musty funk, leather, pepper, wheat, cracker, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Moderate fruity/acidic tartness and light yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, lime, apricot, peach, green apple, white wine, hay, straw, musty funk, leather, pepper, wheat, cracker, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Good amount of dryness from acidity and carbonation as well. Medium-high carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, crisp, moderately acidic, and slightly creamy/grainy mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.8%. Overall this is an excellent Berliner weisse style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
