Poured from 0.5-litre bottle into a Spiegelau Adina Prestige goblet. Pours a slightly hazy light golden-yellow color, with a two-finger evanescent white head. A burst of hops on the aroma, with notes of Meyer lemon, grapefruit, sour apple, and light malt, along with just a hint of yeast. All of these are present on the palate as well, with some light hop bitterness and a touch of salinity. There is also a very light mineral note. The finish is dry and crisp. Overall, this brings to mind a light and slightly tart Chardonnay. The reviewed sample was about five months past the Best By date, so the hop bite may have been mitigated somewhat. Still, a very good and refreshing beer.

 

 

 

 

On-tap served in a stemmed glass at Mikkeller Bangkok.

Clear gold straw in color, it tops with thick white frothy head that well retains with good retention before gradually sinking to a long-lasting bubble sheet atop and leaving lots of lacing patch and spot here and there.

So mellow aroma, it has good combination of sweet, fruity, sour, and tart profile. Lime, orange, tropical, lychee, passion fruit, cherry, apple cider, sour candy, some grain, and grassy hop.

The taste is led by its puckering tartness and sourness. Fruitiness pleasantly unfolds ranging from notes of lime, orange, lychee, apple cider, and tropical fruits. Malt can also be perceived with its bread and grain touch while hop is also there too with suggestion of grass and very small bitterness.

The body is medium with good crisp and lively carbonation through the palate, smooth mouthfeel, refreshing in feeling with a very dry finish. This one is a truly good Berliner Weisse spawned out of its origin, really worthy.

 

 

Straw gold with lots of carbonation and a finger of white head. Clear filtered.

Smells like grassy hops and apple cider. Passionfruit, a hint of citrus.

Sour, passionfruit and grassy catnip herb quality.

Light body, lots of soda like carbonation. Very dry and puckering qualities.

Got on wishbeer, drank in Chiang Mai Aug 31st, 2016. So long since I've had a good version of this style. Really nice with a solid acidity and light hints of hops.
