A vibrant and punchy Berliner Weisse that elevates the traditional profile with a bright, zesty character. The nose is dominated by sharp lactic sourness intertwined with the vegetal tartness of French Rhubarb and the intense, citrusy aromatic of Algarvian Lemons. On the palate, a crisp, bready wheat base provides a foundation for a bracingly sour experience. The interplay between the zingy lemon juice and the distinctive rhubarb creates a refreshing, complex finish that is exceptionally dry. Highly effervescent and lively, it delivers a modern, fruit-forward interpretation of this classic German style with a clean, lingering acidity.
Appearance.Very pale straw, showing a slight haze from the addition of fruit juice and rhubarb. Features a dense, white head with moderate retention and high, sparkling effervescence.
Aroma.High intensity of clean, lactic sourness. Prominent notes of fresh lemon zest and tart, green rhubarb dominate the profile. Subtle background of raw bread dough and grainy wheat. No hop aroma is present.
Taste.Initial impression is a sharp, clean acidity. Intense flavors of citrusy lemon and tangy rhubarb are layered over a light, doughy wheat malt character. Bitterness is undetectable, as the balance is driven entirely by the lactic and fruit acids. The finish is bone dry and zingy, with a lingering lemon-tart aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing acidity. High carbonation provides a prickly, effervescent sensation on the tongue. Alcohol is well-integrated with no perceived warmth.
