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.

Bottle. Color: Hazy golden, white head. Aroma: Berliner Weisse-like tartness, subtle hop. Taste: Again Berliner Weisse like acidic tartness, funky notes, minerally, herbal, fruity citrus fruit (orange, lemon), subtle hopbitterness in the background. Just below medium body, average carbonation. Over medium tartness, light bitterness. Very refreshing during a over 35 degrees C hot summer evening.

Bottle courtesy of Jonas and Ursula, many thanks guys. Having this at home Wednesday 25th June 2025 in the company of Mum and Keith, cooking homemade burgers, homemade burger relish, listening to 6Music with Huw Stephens at Glastonbury, sat outside on the patio. Pours lemon yellow with no head. Fresh and a little funky, fresh lemon curd yoghurt on the nose, zappy, tart and sour in the mouth. Good it's really interesting because the ginger is not immediate, or for me at least it's not, but then it shows and it's a nice addition.

Runder, spritzig saurer Beginn mit Zitrusnoten, trocken, Brett. Süffig, trotz des geringen Alkoholgehalts intensiv, spritzig. Leicht adstringent, minimal blumig, herrlich erfrischend. Langer saurer, dennoch weicher Abgang. Gut! 8/13/13/12/11/13

Eine Marlene aus dem Jahr 2017 im Jahr 2025 zu trinken, darf man gewiss als besonderen Moment bezeichnen...

Die Optik gibt sich hellgelb bis leicht oxidativ orangegelb und leicht opaltrüb. Wie bereits bei der frischen Marlene, hält der weiße, feinporige Schaum nicht sonderlich gut. Entspricht aber durchaus dieser Stilistik. Der Duft wirkt überraschend frisch, fruchtig, mit zarter Reife und wenig Hefearomatik. Der Antrunk kommt trotz seines Alters frisch, zart säuerlich fruchtig bis zart säuerlich herb und bringt zarte reife Zitrusnoten mit sich. Im Mundgefühl vernimmt man auch noch nach 8 Jahren einen schlanken Körper mit feiner und erfrischender Rezenz, zarter Seidigkeit und leicht säuerlicher Trockenheit. Geschmacklich und aromatisch darf man einen relativ geringen, mäßigen Säuregrad erwarten. Dennoch wirkt dieses Bier immer noch überraschend frisch. Die Reife spiegelt sich einerseits in der reiffruchtigen Zitrusaromatik wieder, andererseits hat die Brett-Hefe mittlerweile leicht animalische Züge angenommen. Die Harmonie in diesem Bier ist schon bemerkenswert. Auch lässt es sich schön trinken und gefühlsmäßig könnte dieses Bier noch viele weitere Jahre problemlos lagern. Im Nachtrunk hält sich eine zarte, langlebige Säure. Dazu legen sich der leicht animalische Brett-Charakter, die reiffruchtige, zitrusartige Säuerlichkeit und die leicht säuerliche Herbe.
