What the brewers say

“Berliner Weisse with boysenberry, raspberry, and blueberry.”

What our panel thought

“Berries, berries, and some more berries in the aroma with a hint of yogurt-like probiotics. The overt lack of clarity and the relative thickness of the mouthfeel are equal parts breakfast smoothie and beer.”

What our editors thought

“Visually, more fruit smoothie than beer—thick, opaque, and merlot in color. The nose is all sweet berries, and the flavor leaves us looking for some sort of beer complexity.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Ayinger Brauweisse

“Pours hazy yellow with a big white head of dense foam. The aroma has strong fruit esters and spice with a background of wheat malt and a bit of dank hops aroma. Strongly fruity with a surprising citrus tartness.”

Jester King Brewery Bug Farm

Wildly complex aroma: ginger, lime, tart cherry, cinnamon, cardamom, apple pie, vanilla. Tart flavor up front, bright and lively, passing through delicate malt to a spicy, funky finish. All those flavors pass quickly, leaving a hole that only more of this beer can fill. Quite the ride.

Devils Backbone Striped Bass

Aroma: “Mild earthy hops, almost turnip-like. Grainy malt character, grassy hops, and a strange tart, almost musty, aroma that grows on you over time, for some reason. As it starts to warm up, a nice bread character appears, and the beer completely changes.” Flavor: “Nice lightly toasted malt character paired with grassy, citrus hops notes and lingering light fruit on the finish. Well-balanced on the finish, which leaves a lingering soft bitterness with fruity notes from the malt and hops. Moderate carbonation.” Overall: “Aroma and flavor are very different. A distinctive, almost weird, beer that is hard to put a finger on but grows on you over time. The malt body is dry with nice fruit qualities on the finish. The hopping adds a spicy/pine character.”
