I purchased this at Delices and Caprices, enjoyed chilled from the bottle in a tulip.
described as a beriner to me at the place I bought it from and labeled as such, but listed elsewhere as a pale ale which seemed to fit the actual beer better.

The fcolor is golden with light hazed and thin white head. The smell is slightly malty with perhaps a hint of wheaty odor and light lemon with subtle toasted grain. The feel is light with subtle yeast and malt in the body -mildly carbonated and soft.

The taste is tangy, malty and lightly medicinal yet not overly so, perhaps a slight chalkiness in the flavor with mild yeast. Overall I wasn't sure what to make of this-either a pale wheat or berliner with an identity crisis -it is so mild it is not offensive, yet it is not sour enough to be considered a good berliner-not the best of whatever style it falls under, just average
