Berliner Weisse 5 º

BlackLab

This award-winning Berliner Weisse is defined by a vibrant infusion of real raspberries, which transforms the traditional pale wheat base into a refreshing, ruby-hued summer staple. A sharp, clean lactic acidity immediately commands the palate, harmonizing with the intense, natural tartness of the berries. Delicate notes of raw bread dough from Pilsner and wheat malts provide a subtle foundation, preventing the profile from becoming overly sharp. With its high effervescence and bone-dry finish, it offers a sophisticated balance of fruit-forward brightness and crisp fermentation character, making it exceptionally drinkable despite a slightly elevated strength for the style.

Appearance. Deep pink to light ruby red due to the heavy addition of raspberries. Moderate haze from wheat and fruit solids. Large, frothy light-pink head with relatively quick recession, typical of high-acid styles. Highly effervescent.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh, jammy raspberries dominates the nose. Secondary notes of sharp lactic sourness and a hint of lemon zest. A low, doughy, sourdough-like malt character sits in the background. Hop aroma is completely absent.

Taste. Initial impression is a bracing, clean lactic sourness immediately followed by a burst of tart raspberry fruit. Very low grainy wheat flavor supports the mid-palate. Bitterness is undetectable; the balance is firmly skewed toward acidity. The finish is very dry and crisp with a lingering raspberry skin tartness.

Mouthfeel. Light body with a refreshing, crisp acidity. Very high carbonation provides a prickly, lively texture on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is very low but slightly more present than traditional session-strength versions. No astringency.
