J. Wakefield Brewing’s Haterade is a vibrant, modern interpretation of a Berliner Weisse, specifically crafted in the bold 'Florida Weisse' tradition. This fruit-punch-inspired ale radiates with a complex medley of tropical and red fruit aromas, reminiscent of nostalgic beverages but elevated by a sharp, clean lactic acidity. At 6% ABV, it carries more weight than a traditional German example, yet maintains a refreshing, crisp profile. The interplay of assorted fruit infusions creates a tart, juicy character that balances the underlying doughy wheat malt, culminating in a dry, zippy finish that defines this quenching, high-impact sour ale.
Appearance.Vibrant, deep crimson to electric red; slight haze from fruit solids; moderate white to light-pink head with poor retention; highly effervescent.
Aroma.High intensity; sharp, clean lactic sourness is dominant, immediately followed by an explosion of mixed fruit punch notes including cherry, orange, and tropical pineapple; very low doughy wheat malt; no hop aroma.
Taste.Initial impression is a sharp, clean lactic acidity. Strong fruit punch flavors provide a complex, juicy character. A light, grainy wheat malt flavor provides a subtle backbone. Hop bitterness is undetectable with acidity providing the primary balance. Finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering tart fruit aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body; very high carbonation; crisp acidity; subtle alcohol warmth; no astringency.
