Was not expecting to enjoy this pint as much as I am. Bright, tart strawberry meshes with citric acidity and minor wheat and grass notes. Tartness leads into a subtly sweet vanilla finish. Remains thankfully dry throughout the sour, yeasty fade. Delicious.

12 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours slightly hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy strawberries, fruit skin, lemon, lime, green apple, peach, pear, melon, hay, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, bread, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of strawberries, fruity/acidic yeast, vanilla, lactose, and pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy strawberries, fruit skin, lemon, lime, green apple, peach, pear, melon, hay, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, bread, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and light spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy strawberries, fruit skin, lemon, lime, green apple, peach, pear, melon, hay, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, bread, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of strawberries, fruity/acidic yeast, vanilla, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with zero puckering flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tartness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/grainy/acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an outstanding fruited Berliner weisse! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of strawberries, fruity/acidic yeast, vanilla, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/drying finish, not overly lactic. Awesomely jammy berries and balanced Lacto complexity; nice malt/lactose backing against acidity. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
