COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION:
Our ode to summer. By implementing a sour mash procedure in our kettle an intense lactic and sour character emerges. The beer is then fermented with our lager yeast. Finishes fruity, citrusy, dry, and quite tart.
APPEARANCE:
Light and cloudy, just like it should be. Quickly dissipated head after pour.
AROMA:
I smell some sour character, a little bit of wheat too.
TASTE:
Sour blast in my mouth. Amazing flavor and sourness. Super drinkable and just an amazing Berliner. Citrusy and very tart.
OVERALL:
Ridiculously fresh (packaged on July 11th). Super fresh and just crushable. A nice twist on a Berliner and I will be buying this beer again.
RATING:
5 out of 5
Until the next beer:
Beer God
