Piquant is our Berliner Weisse.

Brewed with a base of pale malts and acidified with a blend of lactobacillus, it is appropriately tart with a creamy malt base.

Pouring a gorgeous straw yellow color into your glass, it contains notes of doughy malt, familiar yogurt-like acidity, and straw with a gentle and satisfying finish. We are certain you will find Piquant as refreshing as you do delicious!

From a 16oz can, undated… undated? Yup. Et tu, Nate? Anyway, served in a cervoise.

Pours a very pretty, pale champagne-ish colour with two-plus fingers of snowy white, whipped fluff. The head slopes back fairly quickly, leaving some meager fizz and a rousable but super-slippery spatter of watery lacing.

Nose is legitimately tart. Aromas of lemon juice and mildewed carpet.

Taste is sour and doughy. Tasting bread dough, mildew and lemon peel. A smidge watery perhaps.

Feel is medium bodied but feeling lighter what with the aggressive, seltzer-like carbonation. Finish is a little… ‘pasty’ - which is a descriptor I do not believe that I have ever used before.

Come to think of it, there’s a little aftertaste of paste, too; the white stuff we used to use in elementary school to glue construction paper together. It’s a minor thing and more of a curiosity (to me) than a criticism. The can label promises a ‘creamy malt base,’ but I’m going with pasty.

Overall, a real honest-to-goodness, unfruited kettle-sour! If I hadn’t known, I’d have guessed it was Hermit Thrush. Again, not a criticism. I like Hermit Thrush.
