🌍 Australia · Berliner Weisse · One of 10 Berliner Weisses in hopIQ

The second kettle-soured Berliner weisse of the range combines watermelon with hibiscus and passionfruit. Watermelon gives a mild, watery sweetness up front, hibiscus adds a floral tartness and a pink cast, and the passionfruit sharpens the finish. The wheat base is light and the acidity moderate, so the beer reads fresh rather than aggressive.

Taste

The entry is soft and fruity, with mild watermelon sweetness and watery body. Mid-palate develops floral hibiscus character alongside moderate acidity that sharpens without overwhelming. The wheat base remains delicate throughout, allowing the fruit adjuncts to define the flavor arc rather than the grain itself.
