Berliner Weisse Style Ale - w/ Cherry & Lime - If you've been wanting a stronger fruit flavor in your common descent cans, this one will deliver. It pours a deep pink rose color and tastes like a funky cherry 7 up. It's SO refreshing! Crush this one in a campground, or in a lake, or in a river, or on your porch, or in the woods... etc..

Sergey's hunt at Ash's, can
Cloudy light red colour. Nice aroma, citrus fruit, sour berries, bit of rosemary. Nice lactic acid, with mild berry and citrus flavour.

Can from 8 Degrees Plato. Pours a clearish red orange with a quickly dissipating off-white head. Sour wheat aromas with lime zest, lime juice and tart cherry skin on the nose. Quite tart on the palate (per style) and very dry. Medium carbonation. Lots of lime flesh and juice with cherry skin and a faint cherry stone note toward the end. Lingering tartness on the palate on the dry finish.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned in 7/2019. Pours fairly hazy reddish/pinkish orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with poor retention, that reduces to nothing pretty quickly. No glass lacing, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big sour/tart/tangy cherries, lemon, lime, orange, fruit skin/pits, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of peppercorn, musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of cherries, lime, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, and light-moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big sour/tart/tangy cherries, lemon, lime, orange, fruit skin/pits, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of peppercorn, musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang; light Brett spiciness and sourness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour/tart/tangy cherries, lemon, lime, orange, fruit skin/pits, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light pepper/musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of cherries, lime, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, and light-moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/tart/sourness and tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/sourness, tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, and moderately grainy/acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4%. Overall this is an outstanding fruited Berliner weisse. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of cherries, lime, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, and light-moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish; not overly lactic. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome balanced juicy/vibrant fruit, and Brett/Lacto complexity; with a solid pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp acidic/tangy dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding spot on style example as expected of the brewery.

Fat på Brewskival. Något blek rödorange, smådisig med vit krona. Friskt syrlig och funkig med toner av lime, citrus, körsbär, röda bär med snäll jordighet och snäll vinägerton. Gott.

Draught @ Brewskival 2019, Helsingborg, Sweden. Sweetish, tart and fruity with loads of lime and cherry juice notes. Refreshing.
