Reviewed from notes taken years ago.
$5 USD per 12 fl oz pour at The Mayor of Old Town, Fort Collins, CO. Served on-draught into a stem tulip.
No bubble show forms as it's poured.
HEAD: 1 finger in height. White colour. Nice creaminess, thickness, and fullness. No lacing adheres to the sides of the glass as it recedes. Nice head retention (~3-4 minutes).
BODY: Clear pale copper of average vibrance. Clear, translucent, transparent. Appears well-carbonated.
Not unique or special in appearance. Decent looking for a Berliner weisse, though some may find its clarity to be off-style.
AROMA: Wheat, clean 2-row barley, floral hop aromatics, tart fruit.
Soft and inviting, but nowhere near as sour as it should be going by the aroma alone. Lightly lactic. Sourness seems to be maybe a 1-2/10 in terms of intensity.
No overt alcohol or off-notes are detectable.
TASTE: 2/10 sourness intensity - hardly puckering. Clean 2-row, flaked wheat, tame floral hop flavours, blonde malts/pilsner malts. Decently balanced, but shallow, simple, and nowhere near sour or tart enough to rival the best beers in the style.
Average flavour duration and flavour intensity. Not a very subtle or nuanced beer, but it's enjoyable. Doesn't feel like a gestalt whole of a beer, but it has loose cohesion.
TEXTURE: Slightly coarse, to its detriment. Wet, refreshing, and medium-bodied with surprising weight and presence on the palate given the intended style. Too thick. Direly overcarbonated. Crisp, which is nice.
Overall presence on the palate is decent. Suits the taste decently at best. Doesn't elevate the beer as a whole.
Not oily, harsh, gushed, astringent, or boozy.
OVERALL: Downable but lackluster. Not as refreshing or quenching as it should be. I do like it, but a Berliner weisse just needs more sourness. It's decent work from a burgeoning brewery, but I would get it again myself given the wide availability of superior expressions of the style in the American/Coloradan markets.
