Draft sample @ Berlin Braufest 2015. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme est fortement prononcée au niveau du bouquet citrique et aigre, retrouve une impression de fruits des bois blancs scandinaves avec ce profil Berliner assez typique. Palais sur une haute effervescence, citrique et au profil un peu farineux. Le tout prend une allure de cidre très aigrelet, et un fuité de groseille blanche complété par un malt pâle. Correcte mais il faut être prêt à apprécier un tel niveau lactique surtout au niveau du citronné.

33 cl bottle @ Bier-Bier. Batch #038: BBE 12.06.2015. Aroma is a bit musty with sour cream and milky tones. Also some citrus. Flavour has lots of sour cream and some green apples. Finishes watery with milky tones. Also some metallic vibes. Could be more aggressive.

33cl bottle Drink shop, Tallinn. Pours slightly hazy golden with a white head. Mild fruity and wheaty aroma with hints of citrus and sour green apples. Moderate sweet with nice flavours and a quite mild sourness. Would like more sourness, but quite refreshing and drinkable as it is.

0,33L bottle, batch 038, BB 12.06.15. Pours clear golden with white head. The head doesn’t stay. Aroma is sour, sweet and popcorn. Flavor follows the nose. Body is watery. Overall: no bueno. Too much like liquid popcorn for me. I think this is actually overrate in the hedonistic scale (it smelled bad and was undrinkable), but at least I can assume that Põhjala didn’t put any artificial crap in my beer. I have had 2 Berliner Weisse’s before, although they weren’t very classic takes of the style, they were at least drinkable, this is not.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - batch 038 - BB 120615, at Drink Baar, 20141227) The beer poured golden and lightly hazy. Its head was small and it disappeared quickly. Aroma had sourness, sweetness, fruitiness and tartness. Palate was light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sourness, tartness, fruitiness, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, tart and bitter. A decent berliner weisse, too sweet perhaps.
