This Berliner Weisse presents a vibrant sensory experience centered on fresh raspberry infusion. The bouquet leads with a sharp, clean lactic acidity and a pronounced floral fruitiness characteristic of the berries. At a sessionable 2.5% ABV, it offers a refreshing profile where the initial tangy snap transitions into a dominant, authentic raspberry essence. The malt base provides a subtle doughy, wheat-like backdrop that grounds the acidity. It finishes remarkably dry and crisp, with high effervescence lifting the fruit notes, making for a light, invigorating experience that captures the essence of a traditional German wheat ale enhanced by bright, tart summer fruit.
