On tap at Station Ho.st, pours a clear pink with a small beige head. Aroma brings out tart, fruity raspberries upfront, with light lacto. Flavour is quite tart and lacto-y, with tart raspberries, lots of dry, dusty berry skins, and lacto. Quite a dry and wheaty berliner, finishing tart and fruity. Good stuff.

(On tap during Zwanze Day/Funk Night @ barVolo, Sept 20, 2014) Totally opaque orange tinged gold with no head. Aroma of fresh raspberries, bit of lemon, slightly lactic but not very sour. Palate is another story; a big hit of lemon juice and lactic acid that overpowers the raspberry at first. Raspberry starts to come through in the middle of the palate with a hint of grain. Much more raspberry on the finish, but like eating the fresh fruit. Sourness lingers a bit but drier finish than initial flavour predicts. A real mouth-puckerer, by my reckoning it was by some margin the most sour of the 16 beers I sampled on a day devoted to sour and funky things. It’s driven strongly by both the fruit addition and the powerful Berliner base. I think I might adore it even more in another context, with a full glass on a sunny patio rather than during a day of tasting. Still very tasty stuff.

Pretty nice weisse. Very sour raspberry finish - mouth puckering. Nice integration here. Lots of funk. Pours cloudy grapefruit juice like, pinkish blonde without much head or lacing. On draft at Volo for Zwanze Day.

A grapefruit pink hazed weisse with a thin white head. In aroma, fresh raspberry pulp, lactic acid points, refreshing. In mouth, a nice sourish and refershing beer with gueuze acidity, raspberry pulp, very nice. On tap at Mondial 2011, June 9, 2011.
