Hallo Ich Bin Berliner Weisse - Watermelon
Mikkeller ApS

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pale golden hue with a faint trace of light sediment in the body. There's a fingernail of dishwater white around the rim and a quarter inch covering the vast majority of the middle. Heavy lacing. I smell pale wheat and faint watermelon. The watermelon flavor leads the way and then the pale wheat makes its presence known in the back of the palate. The mouth is dry and moderately carbonated.

 

A: The beer is clear light yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that died down but never completely faded away.
S: Light aromas of lactic acid are present in the nose along with hints of watermelon flesh.
T: The taste follows the smell and has a light amount of sourness with notes of lactic acid and hints of watermelon—no associated sweetness is perceptible.
M: It feels light-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. There are faint amounts of tartness.
O: This beer is easy to drink and has a pleasant amount of sourness to it, but there isn't that much in the way of watermelons in the smell or taste.

Serving type: can

Pours a foggy, cloudy yellow with two fingers of white foam. Aroma is malty bread, with watermelon behind. There is a tinge of lactic sour to it. Flavor profile is bread and biscuit malts with light watermelon behind. It has a slight lactic sourness to it, but the real emphasis is in the malts. Mouth feel is lightly fizzy and semi-harsh due to carbonation stuffed into a thin body. Overall, surprisingly malty, but lovely blending of malts, fruit, and sour.

Served in a 12oz snifter from a 16oz can.

Cloudy opaque pale yellow colour. Light sweet watermelon taffy aroma. Tastes fresh and light. Tangy and a little sweet with a clean touch of watermelon. Saline notes No lingering flavours or aftetaster.

 

A craggy white froth atop a slightly hazy pale yellow brew. Melond rind, grain and grain in the aroma. Tastes of melon, pear and white grap. Has a spine of candy sweetness and a faint tartness. Light and proper. Clean and easy going. Crisp and on time.

This beer will not upset you. But this beer may not excite you. How that affects you is your choice.

 

Where's the watermelon? This tastes like a base for the beer that is missing the fruit. Just an extra foamy base sour.
