Imagine yourself in Berlin’s Tiergarten enjoying this refreshing Berliner Weisse inspired beer on a warm summer’s day. Bretta Weisse honors the traditional beverage of the great Prussian capital, Berlin. Fredrick-the-Great was trained to brew it, and Napoleon’s troops called it “The champagne of the North”. Firm estery notes of stone and tropical fruit lead to Funky, yeasty, citrus aromas. Soft cereal and Oak flavors are enveloped by a firm acidity and tartness. The finish is dry and crisp; a thoroughly enjoyable beverage. At 4.9% ABV, one could imagine enjoying several Bretta Weisse’s in the Tiergarten, or anywhere else. This Berliner Weisse inspired Wheat beer was aged in 1700 gal French Oak horizontal foeders for 8 months.

Bottle, batch #003. Color: Hazy orangish golden, white head. Aroma: Tart, stone fruit / citrus fruit notes, subtle Brett funk. Taste: Over moderate tart, light to moderate sweet, very light bitterness. Fruity notes of peach, nectarines, stone fruit and citrus, subtle Brett funk and wood notes. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Medium to just below medium body, which is ok for this kind of beer. Average carbonation. Quite long lasting Bretty and fruity finish. Nice one.

Growler. Just hazy gold with a white head that hangs about as a coat. Aroma of apricots, old lemon funk, apple box. Slippery, watery kefir texture (not a criticism). Mild sweetness with apricot, gentle sourness, twigs and oak at the end. Wasn't completely dry at the end, but the balance makes it very gluggable. Very good.

Tap at CBM Otemachi. Great aroma. Taste not so exciting for me but still nice. Nice sourness, light Brett funk but more about sourness. Not so much wheat character. Quite dry, little bit of oaky creaminess. Reminiscent of cuvee de ranke, especially in aroma but without the spark in the taste. Quite fruity. Berries. Peaches and cream. Nice.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a murky peach color with a medium sized foamy white head that left great lacing. The aroma was chalky with sweettart candies and mustiness. The flavor was chalky and musty with stone fruit and sweettart candies. Very long finish. Moderately full bodied

It's Bretta than all the rest with complex tart flavors.
