1809 Berliner Style Weisse

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with a hazy, cloudy appearance from its unfiltered and bottle-conditioned nature. A delicate white head forms and maintains modest retention, with fine carbonation evident throughout. The cloudiness reflects active yeast and living culture, characteristic of this traditional brewing method.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright lactic tartness and subtle wheat grain character, followed by delicate fruity esters and a gentle yeasty backdrop. No hop aroma is evident—the single-step decoction mash takes all the bittering charge. A soft, slightly tangy bouquet invites the palate without assertiveness.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with intense lactic and sour notes that define the character, balanced by soft wheat malt sweetness and complex fruitiness. Mid-palate remains crisp and refreshing, with minimal bitterness (14 IBU) providing only a whisper of structure. The finish is dry, leaving a pleasantly tart residue.

◑ Abgang

A lingering tartness dominates the aftertaste, with the yeast-driven fruitiness fading gradually into a clean, slightly mineral dryness. The finish invites another sip, characteristic of this quenching style.
