Series 9 of 14 (with Todd Haug)
Have guitar, will travel. Check. Have mash paddle, will travel. Check. Have invitation to Berlin to brew, will travel. Hell yeah. Cue our friend Todd Haug. He checked all those boxes and joined us to make this inspired and unique creation. Our Stone Berlin Brewmaster Thomas Tyrell has spent many years studying and brewing versions of the consummate Berlin style, the Berliner Weisse. Todd was intrigued with the idea of überizing (wasn't a real word before, but it is now) the style and wanted to further überize (how quickly a new word can find its wayinto the lexicon) with the addition of ginger root and Citrus Hystrix leaf. They worked perfectly, as you'll see. Todd, Thomas and Greg all agreed they'd never tasted anything quite like it before, and that they all loved it. So now, it has traveled time and space to you. Check it!

Shortlived head over hazy orange beer. Ginger, gingerbread, hints of sherry, and - indeed - honey and kafir leaf. Honey flavour in the onset, ginger more in the background. Sourish, citrussy, almost smoked hints. Medium bodied and quite slick, soft carbonation. Bit soapy in the end. Unsettling, intriguing, weird. But calling this "Berliner Weisse" is mental.

Bottle at IMBC 2018, session 1. Pours hazy honey-gold with a frothy white head. Tons of zesty citrus, lots of lime and lemon, some pale bread. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with lots of ripe, sweet and zesty citrus character, all lemon and lime. Good novelty.
