Mad Scientist

Tokyo Affair offers a vibrant, sensory-driven interpretation of a Berliner Weisse, amplified by a punchy alcohol presence. The profile is defined by a bold collision of tart Blackcurrant and zesty, floral Yuzu. Aromatically, it leads with sharp lactic acidity and fragrant citrus brightness, underpinned by subtle, doughy wheat malt notes. On the palate, the intense acidity of the fruit and fermentation provides a refreshing snap, while the Blackcurrant adds a deep, berry-like complexity. The finish is remarkably dry and effervescent, leaving a lingering, citrusy tingle and a clean, crisp sensation that remains refreshing despite its elevated strength.

Appearance. Deep magenta to royal purple in color with a slight haze from fruit additions. Features a large, light pink head with poor retention, typical of high-acid styles, and high effervescence.

Aroma. High intensity of sharp lactic sourness and aromatic Yuzu, presenting as a blend of lemon and grapefruit. Strong secondary notes of tart, earthy Blackcurrant. Low bready wheat malt is detectable in the background; hop aroma is absent.

Taste. Initial impression is a clean, dominant lactic sourness. Prominent flavors of zesty Yuzu and tannic Blackcurrant provide a complex fruit profile. A light, grainy wheat malt flavor offers a brief foundation. No hop bitterness or flavor is present; the balance is firmly driven by acidity. Finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering berry tartness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body, providing slightly more weight than a traditional example. High carbonation with a prickly, effervescent sensation. Features a sharp, crisp acidity and a subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
