Brauerei Weihenstephan 1809

Reviewed By: Herr Rick
Style: Berliner Weisse
State/Country: Germany
ABV: 5.0%
Serving Type: On Tap @ The Devil's Den

Look: 8.5
Pale golden color, cloudy - yeasties dancing all over, with a head that dissipates very quickly

Smell: 9.5
Lemon zest, vanilla, wheat, acid funk - very aromatic

Taste: 9.5
Up Front: Nice and tart, lemon zest. Finish: Sweet. Good balance of malt and wheat flavors

Mouthfeel: 8.5
Thin, and very smooth

Drinkability: 9
Super quaffable session beer! Uber refreshing! Not sure how many I could have in a row. I'll have to test that one day.

Overall Score: 9

Value:
8
Cost/12 oz serving: $5

Overall Impression:
This is a style that will appeal to people that enjoy Tart Belgian Ales, and Wild Ales. I strongly recommend against getting the syrup poured into it, thus making it a foofoo girly drink.
