This Imperial-strength Berliner Weisse captures the sensory essence of a Florida Key Lime Pie. A vibrant citrus profile leads with sharp key lime and lemon zest, supported by a distinctively biscuit-forward malt base that mimics a graham cracker crust. Despite its elevated 7.6% ABV, the beer maintains a refreshing character through a frank lactic acidity and high effervescence. The palate balances the intense tartness of the fruit with a doughy wheat character, delivering a pastry-inspired complexity. It finishes crisp and bright, leaving a lingering impression of tropical citrus and sweet-toasted grain while masking its strength with a clean fermentation profile.
Appearance.Straw to light gold (3-4 SRM). Opaque to hazy, typical of a pastry-influenced sour. Moderate white head with fair retention and slight lacing, though suppressed by high acidity.
Aroma.High intensity. A sharp, clean lactic sourness blends with dominant lime and lemon zest. A clear bready, biscuit-like malt presence provides a dessert-like foundation, accompanied by light floral esters and a subtle sourdough wheat character.
Taste.Initial impression is a sharp, clean lactic sourness and bright lime citrus. The mid-palate features a rich, grainy wheat and toasted biscuit malt flavor. Hop bitterness is undetectable, with the acidity providing the primary balance rather than hops. The finish is crisp and acidic with a lingering, tart citrus aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body, providing more weight than a traditional version due to the higher alcohol content. High carbonation provides an effervescent prickle. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without harshness.
