◐ Taste

Fresh tart raspberries dominate the palate from entry through mid-palate, supported by bright citric acidity and a persistent sourness that defines the Berliner Weisse tradition. Creamy, yogurt-like undertones provide subtle texture without heaviness, while a hint of brie adds savory complexity. The minimal bitterness (4 IBU) allows fruit and acid to lead without interference.
