Techno Viking

Tap to rate

A clean, tart Berliner Weisse — light, refreshing and sharply sour with a crisp acidic finish. The Viking-themed name fits the aggressive tartness. A good gateway into sour beers for those accustomed to the hop-heavy lineup.

◐ Taste

Entry is aggressive and tart, with immediate acidity that dominates the palate throughout. Mid-palate reveals a crisp, dry wheat character with light mineral texture, while the sourness remains at the forefront without softening. Bitterness is negligible, allowing the lactic character to define the entire experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and sharply acidic, with lingering tartness and a bone-dry mineral afterbite. No sweetness remains; the acidic grip persists briefly before fading cleanly.

Weizen glass

Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
