This Double Berliner Weisse presents a vibrant sensory profile, elevated by an amplified alcohol content and significant fruit additions. Aromas of tart red cherries and juicy plums intermingle with a sharp, clean lactic sourness and a subtle sourdough wheat background. On the palate, the assertive acidity provides a crisp structure for flavors of stone fruit skins and a doughy malt core. Despite its strength, it maintains the refreshing character of the style, finishing exceptionally dry with a lingering tartness. The inclusion of dark fruits adds a rich complexity that balances the bright, lemony acidity typical of the base Berliner Weisse style.
