On tap at Strathcona, pours a clear pinkish red with a small pink head. Aroma brings out artificial berries, light sweetnsss and lactic notes. Flavour is quite acidic, with light lactic notes, artificial blackberry and a touch of sweetness. Very acidic and artificially fruity on the finish. Not a proper Berliner and not well-made at all.

Draught at the brewery
Red color, just hazy. Correct acidity level, a bit too much doughy yeast though, not much lactic acid; the fruit is barely noticeable, some astringency in the final. Not a Berliner Weisse.
Quite poor.

Draft - A bit of buttery dark fruity notes. Deep reddish and clear with a nice white head. Blackberry juice and a touch of bitterness with a long finish.
