This Imperial Berliner Weisse transforms a traditional German wheat beer into a liquid dessert. The profile is anchored by a sharp, clean lactic acidity typical of kettle souring, providing a bright canvas for expressive lemon zest. Madagascar vanilla imparts a creamy, aromatic sweetness that mimics meringue, while a delicate hint of cinnamon weaves through the doughy, bready wheat malt base to evoke a baked pie crust. Despite the elevated strength, the sensory experience remains refreshing yet indulgent, balancing the zesty citrus punch with a smooth, lingering spice and vanilla-tinged finish that mirrors its namesake confection.
Appearance.Straw to light gold (3–5 SRM). Slightly hazy with a moderate white head that shows fair retention despite the presence of adjuncts.
Aroma.High intensity; dominant notes of fresh lemon zest and creamy Madagascar vanilla. Secondary notes of warm cinnamon and a faint sourdough breadiness from the wheat. No hop aroma.
Taste.Initial impression is an assertive, clean lactic sourness balanced by a perceived vanilla-driven sweetness. Bold lemon citrus flavors transition into a doughy, bready wheat-heavy mid-palate. Light cinnamon provides a spicy complexity suggesting a baked crust. Bitterness is undetectable, and the finish is tart and crisp with a lingering citrus aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a slight creamy texture from the vanilla. High carbonation provides a prickly effervescence. A subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
