A wave of tropical fruit and spice brighten this lively, tart wheat ale, taking the German Berliner Weisse tradition on an island run. Hopfentea, steeped on a house-made tea blend of mango, papaya, hibiscus & lemongrass, pairs well with light appetizers, salads and high humidity.

Refrigerated 75 cl brown bottle poured into a weizen glass. Hazy light orange with medium white head. Aroma is light tart, light body, medium/well carbonated, and some lacing. Taste is nice tart and some apricot. Good Berliner.

Very hazy golden and light copper coloured body with a thinnish, very fast-dying off-white head. Aroma of sour grapes, pale wheat, lemons, a touch of yeast and a pungent metallic note. Light-bodied; Very sour flavour up front with wheat, grass, lemons, limes and a touch of brett coming through, all with a light bready and yeast flavour at the end. Aftertaste is sour and fresh all at the same time, but very refreshing...however not complex at all nor impressive. Overall, quite a bit underwhelming with only the sour and fresh wheat notes being nice - no real depth and not much fruitiness either. I’m sure this has such high ratings due to the reputation of Perennial, but this is a decent Berliner Weiss at best. I sampled this from draught in a thirty-two ounce growler fill from Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia earlier today on 31-May-2015 for US$10,00 / 32oz sampled at home in Washington.

Part of a stellar tasting lineup at K&L Wines in Redwood City. Moderate low tartness and the tea was noticeable, but did not add too much.

On tap at The Collective Tap, pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is bland, with light notes of tea. Flavour is the same, with herbal tea notes. Light citric tartness on the finish. Not a fan of this - very weak.
