Kirsch Weisse

◎ Appearance

A warm red hue with exceptional clarity, crowned by a delicate pink head that displays fine Schaumhaftung. The low carbonation level (3 IBU equivalent) yields a gentle mousse rather than vigorous effervescence, lending the beer a composed, almost meditative visual character. Light catches the liquid with a translucent glow, suggesting the fruit adjuncts suspended in the brew.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe cherry and a subtle marzipan note, creating an almost confectionery sweetness without cloying. Fresh green apple emerges on the second inhale, lending a tart counterpoint. The overall aromatic profile balances stone fruit intensity with green, herbaceous freshness—characteristic of both the cherry adjunct and the delicate Berliner Weisse base.

◐ Taste

Sour cherries command the palate on entry with bright, lively acidity. The mid-palate expands into a rounded, wheat-forward character before lemon notes crescendo on the second sip, sharpening the sensory experience. The finish balances fruity complexity against a fine, dry bitter edge—neither too sweet nor aggressively tart, but deliberately poised between them.

◑ Finish

A fine bitter finish emerges cleanly, with no cloying residue. The aftertaste echoes lemon and dried cherry, lingering gently without fatigue.
