A real Berliner Weisse with fresh, apple-like aromas, fine acidity and fine yeast aromas. A pure pleasure even without a shot. The master brewer Michael Schenk recommends simply trying his white pure.

Hazed pale golden color with a fine white head. Nice lacing. Mild fruity and a bit lactic aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation. Semi dry and a fine acidity. Mild fruity, mild citric and a bit lactic flavor. Nice thirst quenching bw. This one was at 4,2%.

New Beer Distributors, NYC bottle ($5): This comes in a newer fancier bottle and it calls itself Braubacker now, for some reason (I can assure you that this is the same beer though). Anyway, it poured a slightly hazy yellow and had a white head. Aroma is sour malt and yeast. Taste is different than was expected. It is not so much sour as it is really, really yeasty. Tastes kind of like kvass or kimchi or something like that. Not great, but drinkable enough, and this one won’t get you drunk so teatotalers could totally drink it.

Draught at Armsby, 6/28/15
Ultra pale, minimally hazy blonde beer has a small amount of white head on it that recedes fairly rapidly to a ring.
Very light lactic tartness, mixed with light cheese rind, lemon, lots of funky hay and barnyard. It’s all very dulled by the heavy wheat pervasiveness, which is fine and expected.
The flavor is very, very odd. Lactic tartness perks up, initially, only to be fully passing and transitions in to an odd mix of balsam wood, sawdust, light plastic and other odd chemical-like notes. Intriguing in that you wonder what the hell you’re drinking that’s creating such strange flavors. Unfortunately, not strange in a good way, and the body, while light and watery as it must be for a 2.5% berliner, is not all that carbonated and just absolutely not crisp or bright.

Flasche (75 cl) von Hopfen & Malz, Berlin. - Blaßgelb, trüb; kaum Schaum. - In der Nase milde Zitrone (Frucht, nicht Schale) mit einem zarten (aber wirklich nur ganz zarten) Stich von Moder oder Urin. - Antrunk schön fruchtig sauer aber noch maßvoll: nicht krachend sauer wie ein Lambic sondern mild zitronig. Ganz zarte holzige Anklänge und ein Hauch von Muffigkeit und Erde. Im Hintergrund erahnt man weiches Weizenmalz mehr als man es schmeckt. Sehr schlank, fast dünn, mild rezent. Im Abgang trocken, leicht sauer, schwach brackig-salzig aber kaum herb. Kurzer, etwas leerer Nachtrunk. - Angenehm unkomplizierte, gefällige Berliner Weiße; der perfekte Durstlöscher. Freunde von Extrembier dürften hier freilich enttäuscht werden.

330ml bottle. Hazy, yellow-ish golden colour with small to average, frothy to macropore, collapsing, white head. Fruity aroma has apple notes, unfiltered apple juice, some fruit acid, cautious hints of lemon and orange. Taste is tart, sherbety, more lemon juice-like than lactic, though not completely without lactic touch; tangy palate, lively carbonation. Slightly too sourish for its very light body.

Big thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one! Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Starts quite sourish, dry, more and more fruity like lemon. Dry-bitter finish, less fruity. Light salty hints. Nice one!
