🌍 Canada · Fruited Berliner Weisse · One of 1 Fruited Berliner Weisses in hopIQ

Deep pink from raspberry and hibiscus. Vanilla and berry pie fill the aroma, then gooey raspberry jam arrives over a grainy wheat sweetness. The finish is tart and slightly off-dry, with a soft, milky roundness holding the acidity in check. Floral and juicy, and the wheat base keeps it light rather than syrupy.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Jam Stand

Appearance

Deep pink hue from raspberry and hibiscus adjuncts, bright and translucent against the light. Fine carbonation produces a delicate white head with modest retention. The clarity allows the fruit pigmentation to dominate, creating an inviting and distinctive visual presentation.

Aroma

Vanilla and berry pie notes lead the bouquet, followed by pronounced raspberry jam character that sits atop a grainy wheat foundation. Floral notes from hibiscus add a subtle perfumed quality without dominating. The aromatic profile balances confectionery sweetness with herbal and juicy fruit elements.

Taste

Initial sweetness from the wheat Malz and vanilla yields quickly to bright berry and sour fruit acidity. Mid-palate reveals creamy, milky softness that buffers the tartness while maintaining juiciness. The wheat character remains evident throughout, keeping the overall impression light and refreshing rather than syrupy or heavy.
