Yeah, I'm still here, it's just been a brutally slow July in the Utah
Beer universe. Today for New Beer Friday we have Full Sail's Berliner
Weisse.
If your not familiar with the style, Berliner Weisse's are one of rare
sour or "tart" ales made in Germany. It's a wheat beer made with both
traditional warm-fermenting yeasts and lactobacillus cultures. They have
a rapidly vanishing head and a clear, pale golden straw-colored
appearance. The taste is refreshing, tart, sour and acidic, with a
lemony-citric fruit sharpness and almost no hop bitterness.
This beer pours a light yellow with very little foam. The nose is of
wheat, lemon, hay and some hints of lactic acid. The taste starts
Lightly tart with a bready sweetness and hints of corn flavors. The
finish is grainy and grassy with a yogurt tartness. Even though this
beer is 4.0% ABV it is only available at liquor stores. Go figure.
Prost!

Bad ass bottle design.
Hi Kent and all,
90th South DID have it on Saturday. Just over 5 dollars for a bottle. I can understand why it would not sell at a grocery store. I likely will drink it sometime this week and chime in with a mini review.
Prost,
Scott
Just found this at 300 West Wine Store, as well.
