Berliner Jahrgangs Weisse 2016
Brewbaker

Pours a clear golden amber coloration with a large, quickly fading, foamy head and slightly visible carbonation. Smells of doughy wheat malt, and estery fruit notes of apricot, green apple and gooseberry, with some musty, blue cheese funk coming through as well. Taste is dominated by strong citric acidity that wasn't really evident in the nose, as well as those estery fruit notes of apricot, green apple and gooseberry, as well as lime peel and a hint of hay and musty, blue cheese funk. Finishes crisp and dry, with a strong acidity and some estery fruit notes and light funk lingering in the aftertaste. Sparkling, effervescent mouthfeel with a light body and strong carbonation.

A very nice, well-balanced Berliner Weiße that is light-bodied, sparkling, acidic and quite refreshing, while still managing quite a nuanced flavor profile with a great depth of flavor for the ABV as well, with a great balance of strong acidity, light funk and assertive estery fruit notes.
