Pour is hazy gold. Bubbly, short, white head that Fades fast.

Smells like grain, hint of citrus and Light tartness.

Taste light. Slight tartness, Lemon, Grass hints. Finish is semi dry with a grassy linger. Lighter body and fizzy medium carbonation.

A - Pours a hazy golden yellow with a very thin white head that dissipates quickly. Almost no lacing.

S - Aroma is grainy with a hint of lemon peel.

T - The taste is light lemon peel, wheat, and some light lactic acid.

M - Light body with high carbonation. Mouthfeel is watery with a crisp dry finish.

O - This is a middle of the road Berliner Weiss. The flavor doesn't offer much, but still very drinkable.

Shorts Bucktricity Kills.

Got a $9.99 mix a six of a few beers I've never had from my local Kroger. Shorts usually does a nice job with most the beers they make though in my opinion I've never understood the mass hype behind a lot of the Berlinner style but who knows, maybe this one could change my mind. Not much else to say, let's drink it up.

Look - From the twelve ounce bottle directly hard poured into a pint glass. Pours a murky lemonade looking yellow with a very fizzy bone white head that only sticks around for about half a minute. Looks better than one of those lemon aid a ritas or whatever the fuck they are called, but still similar. Carbonation is on the higher side of medium. Lacing does not remain upon an empty glass.

Smell - Smell is freshly acidic and tart with a big hit or grainyness and fresh taco bell induced farts. Yes, farts. No I'm not drunk yet, I promise. It really doesn't smell as bad as that sounds. Just has a bit of a fart like twang to it once it hits the nostrils.

Taste - Luckily the farts don't make their way into the flavor. You're initially met by the grain bills which quickly takes a back seat to the tartness. Can't put a specific fruit to the flavor, but the tart level is a middle moderate. A bit acidic as well though not exactly lip puckering. Fare more flavorful than I would have assumed given the low ABV.

Feel - The feel on this brew is fuller than I had expected. Beer sits medium bodied with a higher level of low amounts on the carbonation. Tartness takes over big times and almost makes you pucker up a bit. ALMOST. Swallows easy with a moderate acidity.

Overall - Not a massively complex beer but it is pretty good. Not sure I would buy a sixer given the low ABV, but I'd throw another into a mix a six. Probably one of the better berlinners I have come across which admittedly hasn't been very many ( maybe four or five ). As always, give it a shit and come to your own conclusion..

Looks like a Berliner but even lighter than usual. No real head. Very light smell that's hard to get anything out of. Taste is barely sour, even for a Berliner. It's slightly dry but less than I expect for the style. Feel could really use a lot more carbonation. Not horrible but definitely not a beer I'd buy again.
