This vibrant Berliner Weisse presents a refreshing sensory journey, lead by a sharp, clean lactic sourness. Lashings of fresh raspberry dominate the profile, offering an intense fruit character that complements the style's natural lemony acidity. Beneath the fruit, a light doughy wheat malt base provides a delicate structural foundation. A subtle, aromatic hint of pink peppercorn adds a sophisticated layer of spice, enhancing the beer’s crispness without overwhelming the palate. Exceptionally effervescent and light-bodied, it finishes bone-dry with a lingering tartness and a whisper of peppery floral notes, making for a highly drinkable, fruit-forward interpretation of the classic German style.
