Here at Bellwoods we’re big fans of the Berliner Weisse style, and Bimini Twist is our first of the season! Soured with Lactobacillus, fermented with Brettanomyces, and aged in white wine barrels for 3 months, this delectably light and tart brew is the perfect thirst quencher on the patio.

(On tap at the brewery May 8, 2014 and in bottle after) Pours very pale hazy straw with a big bubbly active white head and no lace. Aroma lactic, slightly funky cheese and barnyard Brett, lightly lemony, white wine and some oak. The palate is nicely full-flavoured for a berliner, lactic, some lemon, lots of white wine vinousness and subtle fruit, wood and Brett. Finishes fairly clean, nice and acidic with lingering oaked wine notes. Body is fairly light, carb soft and bright, perfect summer beer weight. Barrel and brett nicely flesh out the berliner body here, especially on the palate. Great low alcohol alternative to a white wine, perfect patio sipper.

Bottle at the source. Gusher, but well anticipated by staff. Cloudy yellow color, fluffy white head. Aroma of feet and sour lemon. Taste is tart lemon, hi carbonation interferes with the flavor a bit. Still pretty good.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy yellow with a medium white head. Nose brings out loads of citrus, some wheat and a touch of brett - really refreshing. Flavour is super citrusy, with really refreshing lemon tang, followed by a wheaty body and maybe a touch of brett. Lively carbonation, with a citrusy finish. Really lovely Berliner from Toronto's finest brewery.

Bottle - Light grape and Brett. Hazy yellow with a lively white head. Light tartness, balanced Brett and a nice clean finish.
