Kirsch Luise

Tap to rate

Ruby red like a gemstone, with a scent of cherry liqueur and the typical Berliner Weisse notes of lemon, apple must and cider. The first sip is crisp and lively, with complex yeast aroma and spicy oak; lightly sparkling, with a bewitching cherry taste, fine sweetness and a long, spicy-fresh finish. The classic Luise, matured on wood and fruit, 8.5% ABV.

The nose leads with assertive cherry liqueur notes, supported by the characteristic Berliner Weisse foundation of green apple, tart lemon, and must. Beneath these fruit layers lies a complex yeast character with detectable oak spice, lending a sophisticated dryness to the bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and lively, with the cherry character developing into a bewitching sweetness balanced by fine acidity. Mid-palate reveals layered fruit depth and woody spice from oak conditioning, while the yeast brings a peppery edge. The elevated ABV (8.5%) adds warmth and body without overwhelming the delicate fruit-forward profile.
