Jam Stand

Canada·Fruited Berliner Weisse
Tap to rate

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.

◐ 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.
