Bottle split at the Jack is back tasting, thanks once more to LKS for more MA ’Linner Aktion, 06/03/14. Hazed pinkish orange with a moderate off white swirl atop the glass. Nose is tarte fruit snifters, rhubarb, fruit balsams, strawberry pang, berry fruit pips. Taste comprises summer fruits, rhubarb crumble, light berry pangs, a little insipid. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Ok ’Linner but lacks a little in the flavour front.

Jack is back tasting at Bruce’s. Thanks to Leighton. Murky peach coloured beer, small pale peach coloured head. Palate is light and a little airy. Mild fine carbonation. Somewhat wishy washy tartness here, a little watery cranberry. Light semi dry finish. Bordering on bland.

Bottle thanks to big man Leighton. It pours hazy rose-pink with small white head. The nose is soft, red grapefruit, watermelon, blood orange, light acidity, sherbet and barnyard. The taste is sherbet, spritzy, pomello, blood orange, mild acidity, barnyard, wood and earth with a dry, faintly tart finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Smooth, balanced and very balanced. Subtle by these guys standards.

Draught at the brewery, 1/22/14 release party
One of the better looking beers I’ve seen. Near-opaque cloudiness with a bright pink color and a half-finger of pinkish-tinged head that hangs around the edges.
Grapefruit wafts up out of the glass (which is odd, since this is a cranberry weisse) while a fair amount of lactic notes give it a good resemblance to orange yogurt. Tart cranberry acids keep it bright and interesting, while a hint of light maltiness (nutty almost creamy wheat) give it some depth. Lots of citric acid....Medium strength of aroma, somewhat dulled by the yeast and wheat (as is the case with this style).
Lightly sweet grapefruit up front, immediately dries out due to the lactic tartness. Berry acids further dry the flavor and the finish is nearly puckering, but for the soft, chewy wheat body. Plentiful acids build up on the palate, very well-attenuated with no sweetness. However, I keep getting a lot more grapefruit than I do cranberry. Finally, after reading the label, I see the beer had a large amount of orange zest added right before bottling. It definitely makes it more of a citrus weisse, with the cranberries really only adding acidity (not that they would really add much else, being almost completely devoid of sugar). Still, the orange zest is delicious, and provides some nice complexity in face of the lactic acid. Engaging, almost spritzy carbonation keeps the beer refreshing and drinkable, while the wheat adds a supple, comforting, almost creaminess to the texture. Fantastic beer! I had high hopes based on the hype surrounding their Berliner Weisse line and this certainly lived up to it. Definitely the best beer I’ve tried from these guys to date. Now if I can only track down some bottles of Ever and Somer weisse.
