Beer God’s Notes

Sometimes a beer just hits the style perfectly, and that’s what Berliner Weisse from Boston Beer did. I haven’t had a berliner that felt this close to “exact” style in quite some time.  They didn’t do anything funky or special, it feels like they just went out to make a really tasty and easy drinking Berliner Weisse.

Crisp and a little sour without that mouth-punch feeling, this is a really easy-drinking summer beer.

Description

Light golden and highly effervescent, this beer’s bright flavor and light, bubbly body are the definition of summer refreshment. Its fresh lemon citrus note is complemented by a subtle malt character, and the combination of White Wheat and acidulated malt add a crisp, tart flavor. Delicious as it is traditional, this beer will have you craving another sip.
