Untitled Art Spritzer Weisse

What the brewers say

“Kettle sour brewed in collaboration with J. Wakefield in Miami, Florida.”

What our panel thought

“Earthy, vegetal aromas mingle with light tropical fruit and peach—curiously inviting. Flavor is lightly malty and much more bitter, tannic, and grainy than expected. Only lightly sour and acidic. Husky astringency dries out the finish and accentuates vegetal character. Caught in the no-man’s-land between crisp light lager and kettle sour.”

What our editors thought

“Light, subtle nose brings beer and lactic lemon note forward. Sip is bare-bones, with touch of graininess and slight bitterness in the finish.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Parish Brewing Co. Greetings From Holly Beach

“Murk and haze look more at home in the world of IPAs. Aroma is unique, with earthy, tropical notes competing for domination. Earthy coconut meat and milk flavors integrate well with tropical nectar-like sweetness, evoking a tropical cocktail.”

Black Shirt Brewing Co. Viewmaster

“Earthy, lightly dank hop-like notes mingle with a berry- and citrus-forward aroma—muted boysenberry meets subtle tangerine. Those hop notes muddle the flavor and create confusion, like the fruit has started to fall apart.”

Smuttynose Blueberry Short Weisse

**Aroma:** “Big ripe and underripe blueberry notes, with a hint of lemon and some earthiness. There’s a lot of earthy funk that’s musty and dusty.” **Flavor:** “A bit of underripe blueberry, which is accentuated by the dry acidity and lemon notes, almost lending a hint of vegetal. More ripe juicy blueberry comes through afterward, and the finish is balanced with both fruit and tartness lingering just a touch but not too much. Very light malt support that’s cracker-like, and light body with a dry finish.” **Overall:** “A unique use of fruit, but a bit vegetal, and not as juicy/jammy as would be expected given the color. The berry shows up in the aroma more than the flavor—great fruit expression, not enough tartness for a real sourhead, but a good base beer to support.”
