Bottle: Poured a hazy bright yellow color ale with a huge pure white foamy head with good retention and some nice lacing. Aroma of clean cereal with bready yeast and some floral notes with slight citrus notes. Taste is refreshing while being quite complex with nice mix of clean cereal with nice floral undertones and some light tart and citrus notes with a yeast strain that is bready and funky at the same time. Body is full with limited filtration and good carbonation. Probably one of the best blonde ale I had a chance to taste.

Labeled simply as Hopfenstark Berliner Weisse (3.2% ABV) on tap at City Beer and later at Beachwood Brewing in Long Beach. Pours with a hazy bright yellow body with a small white head that fades. Aromas are lactic, yogurt, honey, biscuity. Lightly floral with a hint of salinity. Sharp and strong lactic acid flavors that stay. Carbonic bite. Bready, grainy. Very mild funk. Yogurt. Lively bubbles, and very dry.

On tap at City Beer Store. I have no idea how they got this one. This one was nice and tart. Very refreshing. It has a finely sudsy feel. Appearance is a pale yellow with little head. It has a lactic, yogurty flavory to it. Some light grain and lemons, as well. Good stuff.

On tap. Poured a clear amber red with a near white head that dissipated to the edges and laced slightly. Aroma had a good amount of grain and bread with a bit of light fruit and flora to give a bit of complexity. Flavor was similar with grain, bread and hay with a bit of flora and light fruit in the finish.

Draft: Poured a dirty opaque beige color ale with a large foamy head with super great retention and some good lacing. Aroma of spices and herb with great rustic malt notes. Taste is very refreshing with great notes of spices and herb (something similar to coriander stands out but I couldn’t say what exactly), some rustic malt notes and some light funky ester. Body is quite full with some very limited filtration and good carbonation. Very nice beer which I would love to have more regular access to.
