12oz bottle thanks to Darrel. Pours out a straw color topped with a small head. Nose is lemon grass spice citrus and a nice light funk. Taste is as the nose with more of the citrus notes and a nice refreshing touch on the end.

Tasting at Bruce’s Pad. Thanks to Paul. Lightly hazy pale gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and crisp. Light lemony sourness, touch of sherbet. Light finish with the lemon lingering on.

Bottle via trade. It pours hazy pale gold with a thick white head. The nose is soft, doughy, grain, barnyard, lemon peel, white grape and yoghurt. The taste is crisp, tart, lemon sherbet, lime, yoghurt, hay, light barnyard and dough with a dry finish. Light-medium body and effervescent carbonation. Crisp, tart and so very well balanced. Utterly drinkable. A very good example of the style.

12 oz. bottle, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks a lot, Dany), pours a hazy / cloudy pale golden with a medium white head. Nose is quite light with subtle notes of lemon, hay and wheat. Flavour is very citric, bringing out mouth-puckering lemon, along with wheat and straw. Mouthfeel is like that of champagne, with a very lively, carbonated one. Great stuff, but seems a tad overrated to me.

Bottle from Scot at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours tarnished translucent light gold with a slight white head. Lightly tart aroma. Citrus note. Med minus body. Flavor is very lightly tart. Very lightly bready. Very lightly citrus. So it drinks extremely easily. Light in flavor but somewhat extreme in the nature of the flavor. This is a session beer!

Big thanks to artmcd8 for this tremendous brew! Had this at the RB Pgh Halloween Spook-tacular Tasting/Drunkfest fall 2013, nice time at Hornydevil’s place, thanks James & Michelle! Slight mild tart and sweet perfumy aroma. Wew, this stuff is GOOD! Mild and easy, right up my alley. So easy to drink and so refined, lovely. Refined and frindly. Very nice finish. This beer ROCKS!

Aroma has a nice wheat character with a light lactic acidity and a faint citrus character. A touch of light fruitiness. Pours a surprisingly clear very pale yellow with a moderately pillowy white head. Moderately high retention with moderate lacing. Flavor has a light, pleasant acidity with some light fruitiness and a touch of citrus. Mild wheat character with a touch of a graininess as well. Very light and refreshing with a dry, acidic finish. No bitterness or hop flavor. Mouthfeel is light bodied but not watery with medium high carbonation. Low acidic astringency and almost no alcohol warmth. Overall a very nice, very drinkable Berliner. I think I prefer them to be a bit tarter with a touch of Brett character to add complexity. I like that the tartness does not drown out the wheat and malt character or the faint fruit esters.
