12oz bottle served in a pair of Red Hook samplers. Didn't notice a date.
Pours clear, light amber, small head, medium to high carbonation. Smell is mild, lemony and tart.
Taste is tart, lemony, and something else. Not particularly notable, but not bad.
Mouthfeel is very light and dry. Overall, it's fine -- nothing special. Probably refreshing and light on a hot day.

A: A clear bright yellow with a light head.
S: A touch of tartness, some faint fruity notes, and perhaps a touch of funk.
T: Bright and tart. Acidic with notes of lemon grass and perhaps a touch herbal.
M: Light bodied, crisp, and tart with a dry finish.
O: Overall a pretty decent brew. I wish that there was a little more in the aroma, but it tastes nice. Crisp and refreshing.

Poured from a bottle into a glass.
Probably a fine example of a Berliner, but it's hard to tell. The tangy sour taste from the lactobacilus is really all I get out of this. I see how it could be called refreshing or lemon/citrus like, but it's more akin to stomach acid. Pale cloudy yellow. No head. Tangy and sour like a warhead candy.

12oz bottle appears a clear light yellow color with a quick fading white cap leaves spotty lace.
The aroma is lemony lacto and sweet wheat.
The taste is lemon sweet tart candy more tart than sweet with a firm lactic bite somewhat yogurt-like.
This is light in body and slightly less carbonated than im use to in the style but its still poundable and very enjoyable.

Pours a hazy gold color. 1/4 inch head of a white color. Decent retention and slight lacing. Smells of wheat, slight spicy hops, hint of citrus, hint of salt, and a hint of pale malt. Fits the style of a Berliner Weissbier. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with a high carbonation level. There is also a noticeable dryness and tartness. Tastes of wheat, slight spicy hops, hint of citrus, hint of salt, and a hint of pale malt. Overall, decent brew that slightly resembles a Gose.

Pours a yellow-orange color with about a half finger of white head that fizzes away quickly. Smell is tart, wheat, and lemon. Taste is tart, lemon and a little green apple through most of it, and a bit of a grain flavor towards the end. Light body, easy drinker. It's a nice BW, good tartness, solid body, would buy again.
