This refreshing Berliner Weisse showcases a vibrant interplay between sharp lactic acidity and the soft orchard-sweetness of Polish pears. The sensory journey begins with an effervescent pour and an aroma dominated by clean sourdough bread dough and a bright, floral pear essence. On the palate, a crisp, lemony sourness provides an immediate zest, quickly balanced by a grainy wheat malt backbone. The addition of Polish pears introduces a juicy, succulent middle that smooths the high acidity without adding cloying sweetness. It finishes exceptionally dry and brisk, leaving a lingering, delicate fruit perfume and a clean, puckering sensation.
