Berliner Weisse 3 º

Schneeeule

This modern interpretation of a classic Berliner Weisse showcases an elegant dry-hopping profile using Hallertauer Blanc and Sorachi Ace hops. Pouring an ultra-pale straw with lively effervescence, it greets the nose with a beautiful interplay of bright lemon-herbaceous notes and delicate white wine, lemongrass, and gooseberry esters. Underneath, a clean, lactic sourness balances the rustic, sourdough complexity imparted by the house Brettanomyces strain. On the palate, a crisp, crackery wheat foundation supports a refreshing tartness that finishes bone-dry. The evolving wild yeast character adds a subtle floral, rustic layer, turning this low-ABV sour ale into a highly sophisticated, multi-dimensional refresher.

Appearance. Pale straw-yellow with a slight, persistent haze. Features a large, billowy white head with poor retention that quickly dissipates to a thin ring, driven by high, lively effervescence.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Prominent lactic sourness integrates beautifully with dry-hop notes of lemongrass, white grape, and elderflower from the Sorachi Ace and Hallertauer Blanc. Underlying doughy wheat and sourdough malt notes are supported by a delicate, fruity-floral Brettanomyces character.

Taste. Lively and sharply tart initial impression, dominated by clean lactic acidity. Flavor displays a pleasant synergy of white wine, dill, and bright lemon zest from the hops, backed by a light, bready raw wheat malt flavor. Balance is heavily weighted toward sourness with zero perceived bitterness. Finishes exceedingly dry, crisp, and clean.

Mouthfeel. Light-bodied but not watery, with a highly effervescent, prickly carbonation that dances on the tongue. Clean, crisp acidity with no alcohol warmth.
