Devil's Backbone Brewing Co. "Berliner Metro Weiss"
12 fl. oz. brown glass bottle, "BONED 20:22 09.12.16 81" and sampled on 01.24.17

Notes via stream of consciousness: Great appearance: clear golden body with hundreds of tiny bubbles racing upwards beneath a creamy bright white head, bolstering it so that it holds fairly well. The smell is malty, and cheesy (probably from butyric acid built up during the sour mash), with a mild tart fruitiness. It's zesty and light bodied across the palate. Lively! The flavor is tart, but not overly so, and the malt comes through along with a bit of a candyish note - I thought I even sensed some passing vanilla. It's not sweet though. I guess the sweetness that's there fights it out with the acidity until it finds a balance, and then the acidity wins in the dry finish. It's decent. It's not fabulous, but it's not lacking. Listed on the label as 3.9% ABV. For fans of the style it's definitely worth trying.

Beer by itself was tart and sour, like it's supposed to be. I don't much care for the style/taste. But, true to Berliner custom, I added some berry syrup to it. It made it very tasty. I need some Waldmeister syrup to try it again.

A: Crystal clear brew, light yellow in color with a modest white head that dissipates fairly briefly.

S: Lightly tart, with just a little bit of funk. Slightly earthy as well as perhaps a touch of sea mist.

T: Delightfully tart with a hint of almond, and cherries. Light fruit and some fairly tame bread.

M: Medium light in body, with medium high carbonation, and a somewhat dry finish.

O: A pretty interesting brew. Some nice tartness, but I'm not in love with the aroma. Still a sharp, tart brew that is an interesting sipper.

This is my first sour beer but my third time tasting it.
A: Off yellow color with very small head that quickly disappeared.
S: Very little aroma aside from very faint lightly sour funky smell. Only noticeable when attempting to really smell the beer.
T: Sour similar to a mild sour candy. Not over powering and surprisingly refreshing. Tang present after swallow but quickly dissipates. No hop flavors and just enough sweetness to balance the sour.
M: Crisp and thin. Fizzy on the tongue.
O: This is not what most people would imagine beer as but each glass is surprisingly good. It provides a nice break from the ever present IPAs, stouts, and porters. I would definitely buy more if ever released as a stand alone product.

On tap at Mancinis Huntington

A- pours a hazy pale golden yellow with a foamy white head that has good retention

S- smells of toasted wheat, lacto, green apple skin and grape, undertones of vomit

T- light and tart with just enough sour up front, mid palate gives light fruit notes of sour apple, white grape. The finish is clean and toasty with a light longer if wheat

M- light body with medium carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel and a crisp dry finish

O- outstanding Berliner with is going down way to easy on this 90 degree day

Barely any flavor. Super bland. Not sour at all!
