Berliner Weisse With Cherry
Aslin Beer Company

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the trade Porkbutt.

A- Pours from the crowler to my glass with a cloudy pink body and a foamy white cap. Good head retention before a small ring deposits very little lacing.

S- Sweet northwest cherries off the top with the clean lactic acid from the bacteria in the Berliner. Actually comes off a bit like grapefruit in the end with everything taken into account. Vinous grapes and a touch of fruit sugars.

T- Cherry berliner goodness almost reminiscent of the amazing Pellegrino fruit soda line. Cherries are both tart and somewhat sweet bringing a flavorful fruit punch to the palate. Fresh cracked wheat and bread beyond the boisterous fruits.

MF- Very light end bodied but avoids being thin with a fluffy and foamy texture. High end puffy carbonation and a tart prickly finish.

Glad that I traded for this brew. The cherries are front and center and the freshness of the fruit shines as it comes of as closer to a juice soda hybrid than a brew. Thankfully the lactic acid rounds it all out.

 

 

This is pretty much punch.

 

 

Drinking this great beer as I write this review! This beer looks like a lite fruit punch, very lite tasting and fruity, nice sour cherry notes. Very fresh, and awesome summer beer...another bravo! from Aslin!!!!
