Hottenroth Berliner Weisse is brewed in memory of Fred & Sarah Hottenroth, our founder, Patrick Rue’s grandparents. This tart, German-style Berliner Weisse is as authentic as it gets. We use lactobacillus and a hint of brettanomyces to sour this very unusual, low gravity wheat beer. To cut the tartness for those with sweeter tastes, raspberry or woodruff syrup is a traditional way to sweeten the beer. Almost an extinct style, we hope to help revive the Berliner Weisse in memory of two great people.

Tap at Sac Brew. Served in a tulip. Slightly hazy golden color with a few white bubbles. Light citrus/sour aroma. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Refreshing hit of sour/citrus which mellows to a trace of funk. Finishes off to just clean. Have to drink more to keep the thrill.

Tap at Spuyten Duyvil - this is what you want in a berliner weisse - nice full carbonation in the mouth - crisp, fresh wheaty character - dry, lightly acidic and lactic - light white wine character - tangy and tart, bordering on sour, but never going completely there - very refreshing, with lingering wheat/breadiness and mild earthy funk in the finish - lemon and peach throughout - fantastic.

On tap at the Stone Bistro. Pours with a hazed yellow body and a small white head aroma of wheat, citrus, sourness and light lactose. Taste is tart and clean with a bit of citrus. A small amount of quite tingly bubbles with a dry mouthfeel. Good beer. Just had batch 2 out of the fermenter with Tyler. A lot more tartness and good citrus notes. Less of the wheat that made this taste a little soggy. Great example of such a rare style.
Batch 2 again, this time just on draught at the Bruery, Aroma is clean citrus, and sour, taste is very tart, and very clean, wheat presence takes a back seat. Very, very good Berliner Weisse.

GABF’08. Prefect looking Berliner Weisse with a dusty, hazy dull lifeless yellow-sh tinted color. Aroma is very musty, with very murky wheatiness and a faint lemon aspect. Very easy drinking and light with some soda-like straw flavors. Don’t sound like much but that just the right kind of Berliner Weisse. Nice stuff.
