About
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.

0.33 l bottle from 'AleHub' as 'Berliner Weisse Export', probably from the 70s. Hazy, orangeish amber with some floaties and a few white bubbles on top of it. Sweetish, slightly sourish, quite funky, gently fruity aroma of ripe apple, walnut, sherry, vanilla, gooseberry and some horse blanket. Minimally sweet, quite sour, rather fruity, slightly funky taste of ripe apple, overripe lemon, gooseberry, vanilla, almond, horse blanket, sherry and walnut, followed by a short, quite tart and very dry, citric finish. Thin to medium body, gently astringent and slightly oily mouthfeel, more or less flat. Super interesting beer, unbelievable how well it held up over all those years. Really resembles a lambic right now, has something of a cider as well.
