Aus der Flasche (bbe 15.09.2022/3,5%) im 2021-07 getrunken. Diese Berliner Weisse kommt mit einer hellgoldenen Färbung daher. Das fruchtige Aroma ist eine Mischung aus sauren Äpfeln und Citrusfrüchten und die Säure ist präsent, aber hält sich elegant im Hintergrund. Ein leckeres, erfrischendes Bier für den Sommer.

Berliner Weisse by this reputed German sour ale specialist, located east of Münster (closer to the Netherlands than to Berlin), thanks to Meeki for sharing. Egg-white, medium thick, moussy, opening, coarse head on a hazy straw blonde beer with ochre-yellowish tinge. Aroma of sourdough, Sauerkraut, raw gherkins, Granny Smith apple, kimchi, chalk – a very classic Berliner Weisse profile. Same in the mouth: crisp, tart onset, ‘clean’ green apple, cucumber and unripe gooseberry sourness, minerally carbonation, slender soapy-wheaty base with lactic sourdough effect stretching throughout; aspects of kimchi and green gherkin at the back along with that chalky note I found in almost every Berliner Weisse I ever had for some reason, but the lactic sourness gets the last word. Very classically designed for this style even if not made in Berlin – can stand comparison with any other ‘typical’ Berliner Weisse. Well done indeed.

05/VI/21 - 75cl bottle @ home, BB: n/a, batch 2020-01 (2021-454) Thanks to Meeki for sharing the bottle!

Little cloudy yellow to light beige beer, small creamy white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: rather dirty, funky, vinegar, yeast, DMS, more vinegar, very unpleasant. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: watery start, green apples, lemony, pretty acidic, dry, herbal, touch, very thirst quenching. Aftertaste: lemony, fruity, green apples, bitter touch, some tannins, bit watery, thin, lemon, juicy, very acidic. Not so much vinegar, luckily. Tastes much better than it smells!
