🌍 United States · Berliner Weisse · One of 16 Berliner Weisses in hopIQ

Color Field is a Berliner weisse that Grimm brings back every year, brewed with hibiscus, rose hips and chamomile. The wort is never boiled; the beer is fermented with a mixed culture in an oak foeder and left unfiltered. It pours a hazy pink under a fluffy white head. Lemon and black pepper lead the nose, joined by earthy, gently perfumed botanical notes and a rustic farmhouse funk. The acidity is soft and refreshing, the body light, and a faint floral sweetness balances a bone-dry finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright lemon and a hint of black pepper, layered over earthy undertones and gently perfumed floral botanicals. A rustic farmhouse funk emerges from the mixed culture fermentation, adding complexity and aged character. The combined effect suggests both citrus acidity and the subtle influence of the oak foeder.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft, refreshing acidity that drives the drinking experience without aggression. The body remains light and crisp, allowing the botanical character and subtle floral sweetness to emerge in the mid-palate. A bone-dry finish follows, leaving behind the gentle influence of rose hips and chamomile with a clean, mineral quality.
