It is a real original: the Berliner Kindl Weisse. Characteristic yeast cloudy and fine tingling, wonderfully fresh and lightly hopped - that's the lively beer enjoyment from the capital. Berlin's unique specialty, also known as "Champagne of the North" since Napoleon's time, combines Berlin tradition with young flair.

Bottle shared at the RBESG 2014, grand tasting. Pleased to have tried the archetype of the style. Pineapple juice like green / yellow coloured pour with a lasting white head. Aroma is doughy wheat, sharp lemon. Flavour is sharp lemon, grapefruit, puckering sour. Palate is crisp sharp, dry finish. I have no iea as to why people are bagging on this.

Hazy light yellow colour with a white head. Citric and sour aroma. I do understand why the germans put some sweet syrup in this beer. A bit sour with some wheat and citrus. Light body and rich carbonation.

Bottle at restaurant, Berlin. Has a hazy straw colour and a small, off-white head. Aroma of citrus, pale malt and some clorine. Sour flavour of some apples, lime and hay. Has a slick mouth feel, and a light bitterness. A sour and fresh beer, nothing more.

A cloudy, light yellow colour, a head is medium and white. The nose has malts, some sourness, lemon an dry grain. Taste is slightly different than aroma with a strong sourness, lemon, grain and some grass. More malts in the end. Refreshning, strong carbonation, light but not watery. This is the first Berliner Weisse for me. Weird combination of strong sourness and light malts with lemon and without wheat. Interesting and fresh.

Traditional Berlin ’Schankbier’ and the archetype of its style, light wheat beer with lactic acid infusion; yellowish white, loose and quickly dissolving head, colour a ’dirty’ straw yellow, equally misty. Wheaty aroma with soft pale malts, flowery hops, apple, hay and lemon juice. Quite pungent and surprisingly sharp taste (clearly lactic acid, which tastes sour but has no smell), lemony on a soft wheat basis, mineral-like thanks to strong carbonation, fruity accents, sourishness stays till the finish where apart from the citric acidity, a more mellow lactic acidity also appears, further adding to a dry, refreshing and thirst-quenching end. Body fuller than expected because of the strong carbonation - in spite of this basically being a low-alcohol beer. Very interesting tasting experience, very interesting style.

Flasche (33 cl) aus einem Berliner Edeka-Markt. - Hellgelb, leicht trüb, wenig Schaum. - Eher unangenehmer Geruch: muffig, halb künstlich, halb verrottet, nach Urin. - Im Antrunk sehr trocken aber wenig aromatisch. Muffig-holzig, säuerliche Herbe (oder ist es herbe Säure), Gurkenschale; irgendwie matt und leblos. Trockener Abgang, nicht nennenswert bitter. Zurück bleibt ein recht ekliger, undefinierbarer Nachgeschmack. - Auch (und gerade) wenn man Berliner Weiße kennt und schätzt, ist diese kein großer Genuß; vor allem der üble Geruch schreckt ab. Zum Glück wird gleich nebenan in Potsdam eine weit bessere Weiße gebraut ...
