Trade extra throw in, impressed with Florida peeps.

Pours a soft diet cranberry juice like color with its faded pink like hue. White head 1/4" deep. The aroma was indicative of the commercial tug job on the label, that of cranberry and lime. Light wheat floral berliner notes after that. 1st reviewer, I know what you mean by urinal cake, its like a super clean bathroom urinal cake note, I get it.

Taste leans too much on cranberry, cranberry and currants have to be some of my least favorite fruits/berries to put into beer. The lime aspect helps cut the cranberry, albeit only slightly. At some part, you begin to wonder, is this a berliner base at all? You could get this amount of tartness from just cranberry and lime additions on a blonde ale.

Even if it was a blonde ale with fruit, it still hit a nice spot on a summer day around the pool. It was light on its feet and had discernable flavor instead of just being bland. Worth a tick.

Berliner Weiss brewed with Persian lime and fermented with cranberry.

16 oz can poured into tulip snifter.

A rose-pink colored body with a thin fingernail of a head, and wouldn't you believe it some lace actually swoops up on the sides.

Floral and stony aromas with notes of roses, wet grass, urinal cake, and faint cranberry.

A general acidic tartness comes out first, followed by slight lime juice, strawberry bubble tape, lemon zest, and wheat.

Feel is crisp and refreshing, leaves somewhat of a coating behind on the tongue.

Overall a decent Berliner Weiss. Nothing overly exciting, but worth a try once.
