Bærsærk is a sensory-forward Berliner Weisse that reimagines the classic German sour ale through a trio of forest fruits. Infused with blackcurrant, blackberry, and raspberry, it presents complex layers of berry tartness. The aroma is dominated by sharp lactic acidity and vibrant, jammy notes of crushed berries. On the palate, the intense fruit character is supported by a delicate, doughy wheat malt base. The clean fermentation profile highlights the fruit’s natural brightness without hop interference. High carbonation and a light body ensure a refreshing experience, culminating in a bone-dry finish with a lingering, pleasant berry-skin astringency.
