This refreshing Berliner Weisse centers on a vibrant tropical profile driven by an assertive passion fruit addition. It opens with an inviting, sharp lactic tang that harmonizes with the exotic, tangy essence of the fruit. The malt base, consisting of wheat and Pilsner malts, provides a subtle, raw bread dough character that supports the high acidity without becoming heavy. Effervescent and crisp, it showcases a clean fermentation profile where the tartness is the primary driver. The finish is remarkably dry and brisk, leaving a lingering tropical zest on the palate, making it an exceptionally bright and thirst-quenching interpretation of the style.
Appearance.Very pale straw to light gold (3-4 SRM) with a slight haze from wheat proteins and fruit solids. Pours with a large, dense white head that shows poor retention, characterized by high effervescence.
Aroma.High intensity of sharp lactic sourness and pungent, tropical passion fruit. Beneath the fruit, a light grainy or raw sourdough bread dough aroma from the wheat is evident. No hop aroma or funk is present.
Taste.Dominated by a clean, sharp lactic acidity that immediately melds with intense passion fruit flavors. A light, doughy, and grainy wheat flavor provides a brief mid-palate structure. Hop bitterness is undetectable, with the tartness providing the primary balance. The finish is very dry and crisp, with a lingering, tangy fruit aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Light body with a refreshing, crisp acidity. Carbonation is very high, providing a prickly, effervescent sensation on the tongue. No perceived alcohol warmth.
