3.26 - Ich Bin Ein Berliner

Found this one night after doing a tasting at a packie..


Gasthaus & Gosebrauerei Bayerischer Bahnhof - Berliner Style Weisse
a 3.0% Berliner Weissbier.  Lovin the Berliners and sours lately.. and a 3.0% one?  Gotta try!  It pours the lightest shade of straw yellow with a head that disappears immediately.. highly carbonated.  Wheat and straw, peaches, honey and a citrus tart on the nose.  This literally smells refeshing.. will it follow through?  On first sip, the sour tart assaults your tongue, but is quickly backed up by citrus, peaches and lemon zest.  There's an incredibly mild malt note to this..faintly sweet honey and biscuit/crackers.  At the very very end, a slight grassy hop note comes in..slightly off-putting.  That's the only qualm I have with this.  The sourness is actually quite refreshing and the tame malt allows this to shine through.  A nice introduction to the style if someone isn't a huge fan of sours
