Weisse-Ling

White Rabbit Brewery
Tap to rate
🌍 Australia · Berliner Weisse · One of 12 Berliner Weisses in hopIQ

A berliner weisse refermented in barrel on riesling grape skins, which pulls it a long way towards white wine. The acidity is sharp and clean, the wheat base stays light and almost transparent, and the grape skins add pressed apple, white grape and a faint tannic grip. Carbonation runs high and the fruit reads closer to cider than to beer. Bitterness is barely present at all.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Weisse-Ling

Appearance

Pale straw-yellow with near-perfect clarity, the beer presents an almost luminous quality against light. The head rises tall and fine-bubbled, holding a delicate lacing along the glass as carbonation actively persists. The high carbonation manifests as a persistent stream of fine bubbles, lending the beer a crisp, animated character.

Aroma

The nose leads with bright white grape and pressed green apple, drawn forward by the riesling grape skin conditioning. Beneath the fruit sit faint cereal and wheat notes, kept deliberately light and recessive. A subtle tannic grip and minerality round out the bouquet, tilting the overall impression closer to an unwooded white wine than to traditional wheat beer.

Taste

Entry is clean and sharply acidic, with the wheat base providing a dry, transparent body that doesn't impede the fruit. Mid-palate showcases pressed apple and white grape with a faint tannic texture from the grape skins, pulling the flavor profile decidedly toward cider. Bitterness remains nearly absent, allowing the acidity and fruit character to define the entire palate without obstruction.

Finish

The finish is crisp and dry, with lingering acidity and a subtle tannin structure that fades cleanly. The aftertaste echoes pressed apple and grape with no lingering sweetness or residual bitterness.
