Some lime and a little pepper. Hazy Orange pour. Bitter finish. Ok but nothing remarkable like Harry Houdini.

Sampled on draft at Tapped this beer poured a murky reddish-orange color with a large foamy white head that lingered and left excellent lacing. The aroma was tartish and a bit tangy with vague fruits. The flavor was dryish and a bit tart with a raspberry presence that tasted a bit artificial. Long raspberry finish. Medium body. Meh.

12oz bottle poured into can shaped glass. Black beer with tan head. I should have known from the appearance. I have had a few recent very nice examples of black lagers but this doesn’t reach that bar. Aroma is lagered fumy black malts. Flavor follows suit but turns upside down with a big patent malt bitter finish. The long, dry papery finish really makes the beer less appealing. Too much black patent malt but we’ll lagered otherwise. Could use some malt sweetness.

This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a black color with a semi-thick roaming ringy off white foamy lacing fall in and around a dieing head. Spotty lace.
The aroma takes on rich sweet coffee to cocoa bean, bringing in subtle notes of caramel, some coffee grounds, and a little bit of cake.
The flavor yields to the sweetness initially and then bringing in the coffee grounds a bit more harsh than expected, acceptable. Dry slick semi-sweet milk chocolate aftertaste. Sticky sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Dry rough sort of slick feel sticking to my tongue. Slight silky oaty smoothness. Good carbonation.
Overall, sweet stout or oatmeal stout? Some sort of nice blend between the two, seemingly enough. Would bang again.

Poured into a stange, the appearance was a ruddy burnt amber color with a sly transparency about it. Mild carbonation flows upward nice and even. Finger’s worth of white foamy was able to sustain for a good minute before dieing off. No lacing.
The aroma started off with raspberry tart/sourness with a touch of sweetness that seems to flow evenly into a nice little kick of sweet and sour wheat.
The flavor flows nicely between the sour and the sweet, raspberry that is. Sweet to sour wheat bite. Swift semi-sticky/prickly raspberry seed aftertaste. Same sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body. Raspberry seems to beef this up a bit with a dry prickly texture leaving the carbonation to feel just right.
Overall, nice Berliner weisse that I could have again, preferably in the Summer.

Shared 0.75l corked bottle from 2009 #E018 @ NYC flat. This one has a surprisingly near clear looking soft blurry golden colored body with a huge white head. Smells lovely with a acidic nose. Loaded with citrus and sour gooseberries. It's average on the carbonation and nice and oily in the mouth. Tastes really acidic and lemonic. Lots of tartness. Woody and oaky. Amazingly flavorful! A gem! Wish I had more time enjoying this. 19.06.2015
