Berliner Weisse 4.5 º

Mad Scientist

This vibrant interpretation of a Berliner Weisse explodes with the essence of sun-ripened berries, driven by a generous double fruited addition of fresh raspberry. The sensory profile is defined by a sharp, clean lactic acidity that cuts through the plush fruit character, creating a refreshing, jammy intensity. Underlying the fruit, a delicate thread of raw bread dough and grainy wheat malt provides a soft structure, while the effervescent carbonation elevates the tart, floral aromatics. It finishes exceptionally crisp and bone-dry, leaving a lingering, zesty raspberry tang that avoids any artificial sweetness, embodying a sophisticated balance of fruit-forward depth and traditional German sour ale refreshment.

Appearance. Vibrant ruby red to deep pink; hazy to opaque due to heavy fruit solids and wheat protein. Initial tall, pink-tinted head with poor retention; highly effervescent with fine bubbles.

Aroma. High intensity; dominated by fresh, jammy raspberry and tart berry skins. A moderate, sharply sour lactic character provides a bright, lemony edge. Subtle undertones of raw bread dough and sourdough are present from the wheat. No hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tart, juicy raspberry and berry acidity. Clean, sharp lactic sourness dominates the palate and provides the primary balance. A complementary doughy, grainy wheat flavor is noticeable mid-palate. No hop bitterness or hop flavor is detected. The finish is very dry and crisp with a lingering, refreshing tart berry aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body, slightly more substantial than a standard version due to fruit density. Very high carbonation provides a lively, spritzy sensation. No sensation of alcohol warmth. Crisp acidity with a light, refreshing pucker.
