Creature Comforts Athena Berliner Weisse

◎ Appearance

Athena presents a pale, luminous straw yellow with exceptional clarity and a delicate white head. The carbonation is visibly lively, creating fine bubbles that dance through the glass. A hallmark of authentic Berliner Weisse craftsmanship.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright wheat grain and subtle yeasty notes characteristic of lactic fermentation. A whisper of citrus and clean fermentation esters provide lift without overwhelming the delicate profile. The aroma is refreshingly understated, inviting further exploration.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, refreshing tartness from lactic acid, followed by soft wheat malt sweetness in the mid-palate. The acidity is bright and well-integrated rather than sharp, with minimal bitterness (5 IBU). A smooth, effervescent mouthfeel carries the delicate flavors effortlessly.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with the citrus notes providing subtle complexity without lingering harshness. The carbonation adds a gentle tickle that encourages another sip.
