Can to stange.
Appearance: transparent yellow color with a small cap of a little white foamy head which slid off fairly quick and barely left any lace
Aroma: tart lemon, mild grassiness, some hay, and sweet wheat
Flavor: prior mentioned aromas combine sweetly with mild tart, no aftertaste
Texture: light bodied, somewhat sessionable, finishes clean with tart lemon and grassiness
Overall: decent as a starter Berliner Weisse as I didn't get the normal wheat bite. Perhaps again preferably in the Summer.

Can shared by Cuso, thanks! Assertively sour, clean lactic character with a slightly exotic citrusy hoppy edge. Easy drinking, traditional with a twist. Very good.

Draught at Uptown, New York. Pours straw yellow without a head. Aroma of lemon peel. Light tartness with some flour and powder sugar. Over all a light brew.

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is lemon, acidic notes, and wheat, of course. Taste is rather sour. It is not too citrusy. Minimal sweetness mixed in. This is a good Berliner. Nothing out of the ordinary.
