Jackie O's Berliner Weisse

“Grandma’s pie crust meets her holiday potpourri...but it works. Cinnamon-spice punch followed by citrus and berry notes dominate aroma and deliver in flavor. Cinnamon integrates well and complements the citric acidity of the beer and orange peel; cranberry tartness tips things just over the edge.”

“Ripe mango aromas, with guava peeking through. Sharp rustic note up front, with assertive passion-fruit notes. Aggressive lactic acid on the finish overpowers, with slight fruit layers coming through.”

**Aroma:** “The strong peach notes, like peach juice, are very inviting. Some mango and sweetness, with some sourness and spice as the head dissipates. Light acidity, and no hops aroma.” **Flavor:** “The thick, sweet peach character is very present throughout the taste. Tartness hides behind the flavor and comes through subtly, with a touch of dissonance. Carbonation is moderate, but could be a bit higher to counter the heavier body. The end of the sip is light and sour, but the finish is very sweet.” **Overall:** “Very peach-forward, bordering on too strong, and the characteristic tartness of kettle sours is very mild by comparison. Perhaps more carbonation would also help bring in more complexity. However, it’s still a very drinkable beer and the fruit-forward flavor and mild acidity are great for those who may not think they like sour beers.”
