Description
It all started with eight visionary men who founded the “Vereinsbrauerei Berliner Gastwirte zu Berlin AG” on February 1st, 1872 in Rixdorf. They established a modern brewery within one year, which was opened on July 19, 1873. The first public serving takes place on this day. In 1890 the brewery decides, as one of the first breweries in Germany, to brew a Pilsen beer. It is called - based on its southern German relatives - "Berliner Kindl". In 1910 the brewery is renamed "Berliner Kindl Brauerei AG". In 2006 Berliner Kindl returns to its former location in the east of Berlin. The entire range is now brewed in the Berliner Kindl Schultheiss brewery in Lichtenberg.

An unclear light yellow beer with a fast collapsing huge milky white head. The aroma is very wheaty with slight citrus and apple notes. The flavor is wheaty combined with lemon giving it a slight sour background. The end is dry wheaty - due to the high carbonantion the flavor vanishes extremely fast from the mouth.

A hazy pink beer with a small pink head. The aroma is dominated by raspberries - with a slight hint of wood. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of raspberries, and with a slight wheaty acidity.

330 ml bottle, bought in Bier Spezi Hamburg. ABV is 2.7%. I had no raspberry syrup available, so I drank it straight. Extremely pale straw coloured, nearly clear, just a very slight haziness. Enormous to moderate head. Unusual funky aroma - sea water / seaweed, notes of barnyard, horseblanket and rotting citrus. Very sour / acidic flavour, but not as extreme as I expected. Lemony notes. Light bodied, watery mouthfeel despite the acidity. Refreshing, but I find very little complexity here. Moderate lemony aftertaste.

Without syrup. Clear medium yellow body with an average sized white head. Funky sour aroma, soapy. Lightly sweet flavor is overpowered by the acidic sourness that lingers on the back of the tongue. Very thin palate, almost no body whatsoever. With raspberry Himbeer syrup. The syrup brought some balance to this and added complexity, sweetness and some fullness that it needed. The rating is for the beer without the syrup, however.

Bottle. Very dark brown colour. Big stable head with rather small bubbles. Flavour has a hint of liquorice. Aftertaste also has a very late not of liquorice. Not as malty or sweet as some other bocks, and not as tasty either.

Funky pink reddish color, big frothy head. Sharp raspberry aroma. Light astringency, covered by a sweet fruitness, too much candy-like. Very weak and short. Refreshing drink.

Cloudy scaring green peas color. I don’t know what Waldmeister is (a digestive?), but the aroma is very light, of herbs. Medium sweet, very light peppermint flavor, no beer character at all… Bad.
