Ich Bin Ein Berliner

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a hazy, cloudy appearance from unfiltered suspension through the yeast. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine lacing, typical of the style's delicate carbonation. The light body and minimal color depth (3 SRM) allow clear observation of the suspended particulates.

◌ Aroma

The nose presents a clean, lemony tartness undercut by soft wheat grain notes. A subtle yeasty character emerges from the bottle conditioning, without any harsh or vinegary edge. The aroma remains restrained and inviting rather than assertive, emphasizing the beer's refreshing simplicity.

◐ Taste

Entry is brisk and sour, with a sharp tartness that frames the palate immediately. Mid-palate reveals clean wheat malt sweetness in balance with the acidity, while the 10 IBU provides minimal bitterness—the sourness dominates instead. The finish remains dry, crisp, and quenching without any lingering harshness.

◑ Finish

Short to medium finish with the tartness gradually fading to a bone-dry aftertaste. No sweetness lingers; the beer leaves the palate bright and inviting for the next sip.
