Waiter "Can I get you some drinks" Me "I'll have the berlinner weisse please with pistachio syrup" Waiter: "Are you sure you want syrup in it? It is extremely sweet with that in it, usually we just put syrup in it for girls." Me: "No no, I want syrup. I'm really in to beer, I can handle it" Waiter's thoughts after I left the beer half unfinished "Ya . . .you sure do know beer. Idiot." Well that was along time ago, back when I had a few good beers and thought that that made me the authority on good beer. Fortunately now I am more humble and realize how little I know.

Sampled at the Syracuse location. Extremely pale, no head; faint nose; lightly acidic palate - celery, honeydew melon; very light body, lacking complexity so it comes off like a really lousy beer with aspirations to bigger things. In that regard it''s a let down, but with this style I''m getting the impression that it is a fine line.
