Berliner Weisse
Triumph Brewing Company

Great slightly taste taste and great carbonation. Draft in a glass at the brewery.

A slightly hazy, yellowish body reveals many tiny bubbles rising rapidly towards it's large, frothy head of bright white foam. The retention is good, and although it drops within a minute or so, it maintains a thin veil across the surface throughout the entire glass and leaves some very nice lace. The nose is surprisingly clean, and offers only a delicate fruitiness and very slight wheatish malt. The body is light and it's zesty in the mouth with a very fine, effervescent carbonation. The flavor mimics the nose. It's also surprisingly clean with just a light note of soft berry-like fruit and lemon over a very slight note of malt and a noticeable, but not puckering, tartness. It finishes short, clean and dry without any astringency or odd flavors. In a way it's lacking in character, being just a low-alcohol, lightly tart malt beverage; but on the other hand it's a quenching, light refresher that's interesting and remarkable with a great drinkability.
