Description
The Schneeeule Brewery was founded in 2016 by Master Brewer Dipl. Ing. Ulrike Genz. After years of developing the recipe and thorough scientific study of the topic of the Berliner Weisse as a part of her Degree at the TU Berlin, in the spring of 2016 it was finally time and the brewery Schneeeule Berlin was founded. Finally, Berlin has a brewery producing original Berliner Weissr. The goal of the Schneeeule Brewery is nothing less than to give Berlin a piece of it’s culture back: Berliner Weisse. After both devastating world wars, the beer once known far beyond Berlin’s borders as the “Champagne of the North” is now almost only available as barely drinkable mass produced industrial beer. The reputation of the once National Drink of Berlin has been ruined. Master Brewer Ulrike Genz is doing her utmost to change this and to return the Weisse where it belongs; in every Bar and Restaurant worth its name in Berlin, and in a proper glass. All Beers brewed by the Schneeeule Brewery are bottle fermented with Brettanomyces and have matured in the bottle for at least 2 months. Just as it was done 150 years ago.

Angenehm säuerlicher Antrunk, feine Essignoten. Das Gurkenaroma passt gut, erfrischend, spritzig. Feinherb, ausbalanciert, etwas trocken, langer Nachgeschmack. Gut. 10/11/12/12/10/12

Huge thank you to kappldav123 for this sample. Looks like murky apple juice in the glass (sorry ...).Sour fruity aroma but also pale grainy or caramel elements in the background. Taste starts with sourness, increasing dry and smooth grainy with barrel wood in the end. Silky palate. Nice blend.

Wow. Only 41 bottles of this beer exist. This is bottle 14/41. Label looks old, older than bottle year 2018. Beer in the glass with almost no head. Fine soapy-sourish aroma. Hints of elder. Starts milder than exspected, fine sourish, woody notes. Fruity hints of grapes, some elder, some lemon. Tart woody-sourish fruity finish. Nice shy bitterness. Milder aftertaste, fine fruity-sourish notes remain. Really nice! Glad I had a chance to try it.
