Our brewers decided to have some fun and the took one of our most scientific creations and made it even more amazing! Nickel Brook Raspberry Uber Berliner Weisse uses our refreshing sour style of wheat beer which has then been aged on local Ontario raspberries. The result is a massive raspberry flavour explosion that still maintains the incredibly unique qualities of our Uber Berliner Weisse. You're going to love this! It's a scientific fact.

Poured into a pint glass. A hazy pinkish orange with a very pale pink two finger head which soon diminished to a thin layer which sticks around. No lacing to speak of.
Yeast and sourish fruit in the nose.
Taste is mildly sour and quite dry. The lack of sweetness allows the raspberry to shine through.
Light body and moderate carbonation.
Overall, very smooth, refreshing and light. Good example of the style. Nice to see real fruit and not just syrup.

Slightly hazy dark ruby color. Poured a short head like a soft drink; it was completely gone in a couple of seconds. Very low flow of mixed size bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. No lacing.
Smells like my Mom's home canned raspberries. Picked from our back yard and packed into jars raw; hardly cooked. Very light malt. Just a touch of yeast funk. Not really much of a beer smell at all, but really nice.
Much more traditional Berliner Weisse flavor. Funky sour. Light graham cracker malt. The raspberry is still here in abundance, but it is much lighter in the flavor than in the smell. The aftertaste is a strong tart that starts off funky and then fades down to the fruit and tart expected from raspberry. There is a quick burst of malt right after swallowing.
Low carbonation. This only formed a light foam. Somewhat astringent.
This was very refreshing. It would be an excellent aperitif in the summer. Goes down a little too easily.

Pours bright pinkish red with a pure pink, frothy cap. Fresh raspberries and some lactic acidity in the nose. Tart acidity, wheat malts and light berries in the first sip. Raspberry and cherry notes and a touch of stale milk in there. Prickly carbonation. The finish acidic and lightly fruity.
A nice berlinner weisse that's more tart than I anticipated. Fruit is there but understated.

500 mL bottle
Served in a sour glass
This beer pours almost like beet juice. It is deep purple and topped with a pink head that leaves sparse lacing.
The aroma is fruity with raspberry and a nice tart smell.
The flavor starts out with raspberry and is followed by a tart flavor. The finish is dry.
Light bodied with a dry mouthfeel
This beer is light, fruity, bubbly, and tart. It is a nice beer to have on a warm spring day.

Pours deep purply red with. Frothy head that soon dissipatrs. Aroma dominated by raspberry with some musty funk. Flavour: again - big mouthful of rasberry that dminated everything else, some acidity. Tart rather than sour. The underlying Berliner Weise is pretty well drowned out.

Pours a cherry mohagany. A little thin with generous amount of carbonation. Aroma is raspberry fruit juice,tart citrus with a little bit of whole wheat
Taste is raspberry fruit juice,tart,wheat, but not very sour at all. Low and makes it taste more juice like than beer but the base wheat beer helps balance that
Overall it's an excellent beer

Cherry red with tonnes of carbonation, topped with 4 fingers of hot pink head.
Smells of raspberries, red wine, vinegar, a bit of funk and a fresh plastic quality.
The taste is sour, of raspberries, that same plastic quality, funk, dusty barn, macaroni, and old wood.
Light body with very tart, acidic feel, and lots of carbonation.
Got at LCBO, drinking in Muskoka, March 19th, 2018. Very dry, ver classy, well done brew.
