A light and refreshing Berliner Weisse, with its crisp natural tartness balanced by the addition of blueberries. Sweet yet tart.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 12/10/2017. Pours slightly hazy medium golden amber/light orange color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Slight spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lightly tart/tangy blueberries, fruit skin, lemon, pear, green apple, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, light pepper, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast, blueberries, and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart/tangy blueberries, fruit skin, lemon, pear, green apple, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, light pepper, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy blueberries, fruit skin, lemon, pear, green apple, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, pepper, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, blueberries, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/tartness balance, and zero puckering flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tartness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, and bready/grainy/acidic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.3%. Overall this is a nice fruited Berliner weisse. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, blueberries, and bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the mellow tartness/acidity. This was not as lactic or bold on the fruit as I was hoping for; but really well balanced and flavorful for the ABV. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Appearance: Arrives with a hazy golden color capped by a one finger head; rather fizzy and fades quickly leaving a few spots of lacing
Smell: The blueberry is well-developed in the aroma and is supported by doughy, grainy tones
Taste: Doughy and somewhat sweet, up front, with some blueberry flavors developing; a touch of lactic sourness in the mix, as well; tart wheat tones in the finish
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: A refreshing summer beer but the blueberry tones are not as bold as I would have hoped
