Les Zythonautes Berliner Weisse Cassis
This refreshing Berliner Weisse showcases a vibrant interplay between sharp lactic acidity and the deep, jammy character of cassis. The base reveals a delicate foundation of raw bread dough and grainy wheat, providing a soft cushion for the bold blackcurrant infusion. Effervescent and bright, it leads with a crisp, puckering sourness that highlights the dark berry fruit without cloying sweetness. The fermentation character is clean and focused, emphasizing tart fruit skin and lemon-like citrus notes. Designed for sunshine, this low-alcohol ale concludes with a bone-dry finish that invites repeated sips, epitomizing the style’s historical role as a thirst-quencher.
