Sea Buckthorn Sorbet

Tap to rate

A refreshing berliner weisse filled with sea buckthorn, whose unmistakable flavour pleasantly enhances the sourness, while mango adds a subtle sweetness and tropical notes. It was the very first beer of the Sorbet series, and Sibeeria is always happy to brew it again, a pleasantly balanced and flavourful sour.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Sea Buckthorn Sorbet

◎ Appearance

A pale, luminous golden hue with notable haze from suspended yeast, characteristic of the berliner weisse style. A delicate white head forms quickly but settles to a thin collar with modest lacing. Fine carbonation creates persistent gentle bubbles throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright sea buckthorn tartness—tart citrus and subtle stone-fruit notes—layered beneath a gentle floral herbalism from noble hops. Mango adds a whisper of tropical sweetness in the background, while the weizen yeast contributes a faint wheat and banana undertone. Overall impression is fresh, acidic, and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and sour, with sea buckthorn leading the charge—assertive acidity balances nicely against the subtle sweetness of mango. The mid-palate remains dry and refreshing, with a light body that allows the fruit acids to shine; minimal bitterness (10 IBU) keeps the profile clean and approachable. Finish dries rapidly, leaving behind tart berry and stone-fruit notes.
