The Bruery Hottenroth Berliner Weisse Berlin-Style Tart Wheat Ale

Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.

Tonight’s featured beer is The Bruery Hottenroth Berliner Weisse Berlin-Style Tart Wheat Ale.

From The Bruery website: “Hottenroth Berliner Weisse is brewed in memory of Fred & Sarah Hottenroth, Patrick’s grandparents. This tart, German-style Berliner Weisse is as
authentic as it gets. We use lactobacillus and a hint of brettanomyces to sour this very unusual, low gravity wheat beer. To cut the tartness for those with sweeter tastes, raspberry or woodruff syrup is a traditional way to sweeten the beer. Almost an extinct style, we hope to help revive the Berliner Weisse in memory of two great people.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours a hazy and pale golden straw color with a fizzy white head and spotty lacing.
Aroma: Tart, funky yeast, lemons, cereal and grainy malts, wheat, grassy and earthy.
Taste: Sour and tart, lemony, wheat, sweet grains and fruit and a touch of yeast.
Overall: Excellent drinking, The Bruery Hottenroth Berliner Weisse Berlin-Style Tart Wheat Ale is delicious and perfect for a warm summer night.  This 3.1% ABV offering is a great mix of sweet, tart and sour.  Highly recommended for fans of the style!

Cheers!
