Pours cloudy light yellow with moderate head. Does not have a strong initial aroma, it is quite tart. Thankfully not strongly floral and hoppy. Some of the wheat character. This is part of their summer variety pack so it seems the aim is lighter, crisper, easy drinking beers, which this fills in pretty well. Apparently Berliner is supposed to be even more sour than this, I guess I’m glad this isn’t entirely faithful to the style? Too sour doesn’t appeal to me in a beer.
This isn’t quite good enough for a 3, so its 2 out of 4 sour monkeys.
