Pours a light orangey gold color with a little to no head. It’s mildly cloudy, sort of a dingy, dusky liquid. What bubbles were produced fade away almost immediately, but it’s a Berliner, so that’s not a surprise. The aroma is odd. There’s a lot of wheat, which seems a tad funny. It has a very bready, cereal-ish flavor. At first, there was a very nice tart lemon note and some nice funk knocking around, but that all dissipated or was overwhelmed by the odd graininess. It smells like warm, old, wet, moldy grain. The taste takes this same profile in a worse direction. It has moderate to medium sourness. It tastes like spoiled grain, messy funk and soured wheat. There might even be a little diacetyl thrown in the mix. It’s just a mess. Mouthfeel is oddly thick. I really need to stop buying Ale Industries beers.
