Berliner Kindl Weisse if you want to ease into sour beer territory,
Razzmatazz Sour if you want something with real fruit presence and complexity.
The Kindl is a classic Berlin-style that's been doing this since 1913—it's the training wheels of sours, almost sessionable in its restraint. Razzmatazz swings harder with wild yeast character and what I assume is actual fruit work, making it feel more adventurous and layered by comparison.

Berliner Kindl Weisse
This beer tastes like someone carbonated a conversation. There's a soft lactic tang that hits your cheeks without puckering them—almost like biting a green apple skin, but lighter. The wheat body is feathery and dry, and at 3% ABV it disappears quickly, which is kind of the point. It's genuinely thirst-quenching in a way that makes you want another immediately.
Razzmatazz Sour
You taste the wild yeast work right away—there's a funky, slightly musty undertone that suggests actual fermentation rather than just added acid. The fruit (whatever they used for 'Razzmatazz') gives it sweetness in the middle without being cloying, and the slightly higher ABV and IBU create a drier finish that keeps it interesting. It feels more intentional, more made.
