Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a light orange straw amber. Minimal head, but a ring around the glass with slight slippery lacing. Aroma of biscuit malt, light citrus and a lactic hint. Flavor starts with tart lemony wheat and develops into a light biscuit malt, wheat and lemon. The tartness is dominant, and other flavors are subdued. Light bodied, but nice mouth feel with sharp active carbonation. A refreshing, understated weissbier with a balanced amount of lactic tartness.

I remember this was one of my first American berliner efforts. Pours a yellow color with 1/2" white head that recedes into oblivion. The aroma was a light lemon effect and not much in terms of wheat beyond that.
The taste is weak, even for a berliner. Its watery. Its super mild. On the 10 pt berliner sour scale, this one is like a 2. Too watery to really have a dry mouth feel. The wheat continues to be understated, like everything in genre.
Only good thing is this was affordable, but I'd gladly pay twice as much for a superior product, as this is a below average interpretation of a berliner weisse. There is just some mild lemon notes over a boring base beer that is watery. Just lacking in the malt, tart, body, bitter aspects. I guess the carbonation was fine. Ingredients seemed lacking all around.
Avoid.

Bordering a Belgian witbier, this is a decent approximation of the Berliner weisse style. The tartness is there, in the background, not upfront like a Kindl Weisse. I’d like to try this with some of the German flavor syrups. Pale golden with thin foamy head (short-lived). Body is light, flavor is wheat bread with some citrusy tartness. Finish is slightly dry. Refreshing on a hot day.

A: Gold with a slight haze under a pure white head. S: Lemon bread, light funk
T: Lemony tart with light bread.
F: Light, refreshing and very effervescent.
O: This is not as lemony and mouth puckeringly sour as some Berliner Weisse and it also has more malt and wheat character which for many, is a good thing.

Scored a six pack of bombers from a friend that aged them for 2+ years (drink by date of 9/12) because he didn't like them but didn't want to throw them away...needless to say, this beer has aged very well!!!

Color- light hazy gold. Medium head.
Aroma- earthy, grainy with lemon zest and hint of radish.
Taste- An interesting and complex brew. Starts tart yet clean like a mild sour Flemish ale with hint of lemon, then turn clean and almost lager like but finishes with a mild lingering wheatiness. A truly unusual and complex brew unlike anything we've had before. Don't drink too cold. Another in the Brewer's Share series.
Poured from 650 ml bomber into a Liefmans Goudenband glass (my preferred all purpose beer tasting glass).

22oz bottle poured into a pint glass.
A: Pours a tawny color with surprising clarity. Cloudy is expected here. Bubbly white head holds for a little while at and inch in height,but eventually falls. No lacing.
S: Grainy and bready on the nose. Mild grape skin aroma and a mild acidic tartness. Very bland.
T: Lemony tartness up front. Tart white grape. Papery oxidation. This is quickly overtaken by wheaty, doughy, bready, and cereal grains. Finish is more of the same.
M: Thin body. No real substance at all. Tight carbonation brings a very light and soft scrub.
O: This bottle is over a year old, but I've heard of Berliners lasting up to a couple of years. At least the ones that actually use Brett. This did not hold up, but even still I doubt it was very good in the first place. Not tart enough and seriously lacking substance all around.
