Berliners have enjoyed drinking their “Weisse” since the 16th century. When the Huguenots arrived on the Spree shortly thereafter, a new term coined for the taverns throughout the city - Budike (from Boutique).
Up until the early 19th century, the innkeeper, known as Budiker, usually served the Berliner Weisse, a light beer made from wheat and barley malt, to which a top secret cocktail made from wild yeasts gave it its sweet and sour taste.
The "sparkling wine of the north", as Napoleon's troops admiringly called the beer, became the favorite drink of the whole city.

Bottle from LCB. It pours lightly hazy pale lemon yellow with a handsome fluffy white head which endures. The aroma is musty, damp grain, touch of barnyard, tangy lactic vibes, natural yoghurt, zingy lemon citrus and some damp hay. The taste is crisp, sharp, dry, zingy, tangy, fizzy lemon sherbet, lactic, lemon parfait, natural yoghurt, dull acidity, fizzy cola bottles, earth and damp wood with a dry finish. Average body and moderate to high fizzy carbonation. Nice classic style Berliner. Quenching.
