Hanna

Tap to rate

Hanna brings Germany and Japan together in a Berliner Weisse at 3.9% ABV, finished with yuzu and calamansi. The nose is lively with fresh citrus from both fruits; the palate is tart, lemony and very thirst-quenching. The brewer made it as a kettle sour and soured it naturally, steeping a sachet of organic grain to bring in Lactobacillus. It keeps fermenting slowly in the can, so it wants to be stored cold and upright.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus—yuzu brings a distinctive bergamot-like quality while calamansi adds a piercingly fresh, lemony character. Behind the tropical citrus sits a subtle grain sweetness from the Malz base, allowing the exotic fruit adjuncts to dominate. The aromatic profile is lively and inviting, with no prominent hop resin or fermentation esters masking the fruit forward presentation.

◐ Taste

The palate strikes immediately with a tart, acidic entry characteristic of kettle-soured Berliner Weisse. Lactic acid mingles with the dual citrus fruits to create a lemony, thirst-quenching sensation that evolves through the mid-palate. Minimal residual sweetness allows the natural tartness to linger, while the low bitterness (5 IBU) ensures a clean, dry finish without harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and clean, allowing the tartness to fade without lingering harshness. A dry, refreshing aftertaste invites another sip.
