Berliner Weisse 3 º 15 IBU

Root + Branch Brewing

This Berliner Weisse presents a sophisticated interplay between traditional lactic acidity and the vibrant aromatic profile of Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The experience begins with a sharp, clean sourness that immediately lifts the senses, closely followed by the unmistakable influence of the grapes, contributing notes of green gooseberry, passionfruit, and white peach. Underneath the fruit and acidity lies a delicate, bready wheat malt foundation reminiscent of fresh sourdough. The finish is remarkably dry and effervescent, leaving a lingering, crisp citrus impression. This low-alcohol ale exemplifies refreshment, blending the tartness of a classic German wheat beer with the elegant, fruit-forward complexity of fine white wine grapes.

Appearance. Straw to very pale gold (2-3 SRM). Clarity is slightly hazy due to the fruit addition. Features a large, dense white head with poor retention and is highly effervescent.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity sharply sour character. Dominant notes of Sauvignon Blanc grapes provide lemon, tart apple, and passionfruit scents. The wheat is perceived as raw bread dough or sourdough, with no hop aroma present.

Taste. Clean lactic sourness dominates the palate, complemented by a grainy or doughy wheat flavor. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes add layers of white grape and citrus. Hop bitterness is undetectable, as the acidity provides the balance. It concludes with a very dry, crisp finish.

Mouthfeel. Light body but avoids being watery. Very high carbonation creates a prickly sensation. No alcohol warmth is perceived. Finishes with a crisp, refreshing acidity.
