🌍 Germany · Berliner Weisse · One of 3 Berliner Weisses in hopIQ

A traditional interpretation of the near-extinct Berliner Weisse style, brewed with mash-hopping and no wort boiling, fermented with a traditional lactic acid bacteria strain. Champagne-like in its acidity, complexity and carbonation — intensely tart yet fruity and dry. Bottle-conditioned, unfiltered, unpasteurised. Napoleon's troops called the style 'lively and elegant' in 1809.

Weizen glass

Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
