Made with over 800 pounds of fruit, this Berliner Weisse is bursting with tart and juicy snozzberries and finished with vanilla and lactose. This flotation device will be a necessary survival item for when things get sour! Other-weisse you'll drown!

16 oz can, no date, but it's at least 6 months old now, into Ghost In The Machine rastal (fitting!).
Super wine-like, some merlot-meets-cabernet in the glass with a light pink colored head of 1 finger that recedes gradually to a half finger.
Aroma of earthy, jammy berries, with hints of scraped out vanilla pods. It's very natural and naked.
Flavor is definitely sour and tart 1st and 2nd, followed by mild cream-like lactose sweetness and some slight vanilla on the back end. It's a bit like splashing some Cream Soda in a dark berry sour beer but it doesn't clash at all. Again, very tart, very sour.
Feel is buzzing to start, which fades, and leaves a little alcohol heat behind, and then piles on the tannins and starches on the finish. It's medium bodied. It coats the mouth with tannin and I've never been a fan of that unless I'm having a wine-barrel aged stout.
Overall, a pretty tasty little sour banger that I would possibly entertain buying again. It doesn't have the sweet softness that my lovely SG beers do, but the ingredients are here (fruit, lactose, some vanilla) and it keeps one foot firmly in the traditional cask. Aggressively sour, moreso than I'd like, but still a pretty well-executed beer. Can't knock that.
