In the Bluff Berliner Weisse is a low ABV sour German wheat beer. "Weisse" translates to "white," and this style is probably closer to a Belgian wit (e.g., Allagash White, Blue Moon) than to the average banana-y hefeweizen. To make this beer, we took the standard wheat beer malt base and added a souring bacteria (lactobacillus). From there, we forged our own path. We fermented In the Bluff with a farmhouse ale yeast, imparting fruity and spicy character to the beer. Then we lightly dry hopped it with Equinox and Cascade hops. The resulting beer boasts a tropical aroma of papaya, lime, and green pepper and drinks with a refreshing lemony tartness with a hint of salt. To put it simply, our Berliner Weisse is a beer drinker's Gatorade. It's summer and there's no better time to get In the Bluff. Limited availability.

Surprisingly good Berliner Weisse. Sharp and tart; slightly milky, with a pronounced wheat presence; a touch of spice; surprising and welcome bitterness, despite the low IBU. Rustic and grainy. Saison yeast shows through at the end. Crisp and refreshing.

On tap at Outer Light. Pours a hazy very pale yellow with almost no head. Almost no lacing. Sour aroma with some lemon and funk. The taste is slightly bready with the tart lemon flavor. Wheat towards the end with the underlying sour lemon flavor. Notes of lime throughout. Wheaty finish. Crisp and drinkable. Virtually no alcohol presence. Light mouthfeel with very little carbonation. I'm still very new with this style but I do dig this one. Maybe a bit too much wheat flavor and not enough of the sour lemon flavor then I'd like. Still, pretty good and a fine summer beer.
