It is bright people with very little head. Smells super fruity with citrus, 7-up, and has some richness balancing the sour. It has a medium light body with mild carbonation. The taste has rich berries, dragonfruit (guess that's the fruit I can't point out), raspberries, blackberries and a sourness that seems fairly unique and works well with the fruit. Big thanks to gregwilsonstl for sharing this treat.
Pours beautiful pink/ruby with white reddish head.
Aroma has sweet red berries, sour, funk, pineapple.
Taste is red berries, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, peach, lemon, sour, funk.
750ml bottle thanks to Steve. Pours out pink topped with a small head. Nose is big passion fruit some lemon sour notes and a light sweetness aswell. Taste is more of the nice passion fruit notes a little fruit juice and plenty pucker.
Had this before when it was a homebrew I guess. A pinkish hue with a medium white head. A big tropical nose, very soft and perfumy. More tropical notes, sour lactic but smooth, brett and earthy notes. Very smooth. Solid.

Bottle shared at Matt’s. Big bright pink red colors with tartness and a lot of fruit forward notes.
Backlog z Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen 2017. Być może najlepszy Berliner jaki piłem. Niesamowity poziom intensywności owoców, cytrynowo-marakujowa kwaśność, totalnie pyszne i orzeźwiające.
Tap @ Sour & Bitter #3, 2016. Cloudy red body with a small pinkish head. Yeasty, soap, cheese, red berries, wheat, salty, synthetic. Decent.
750, capped. Thanks, J! Hope I got the right guy. Pours a clear and insanely lurid pink, truly a color not found in nature outside of the most elaborate tropical blooms. If even there. Bright tangy sweet nose, a little lemon and light dry vinegar but then tons of bright clear fruit. Creamy medium body with lively carb. Lightly sweetened cereal under a thin bite of lemon and vinegar and then tons and tons of bright quenching fruit. Unbelievable showcase of flavor for the ABV. Light crisp finish.
Had this at Where The Wild Beers Are VII (2016). Pours a clear pink garnet with a thin pink head. Passion fruit, acid, funk, fruit. Acid. Lovely. Medium bodied, tangy fruit, acid, sweet and tangy.
From tap. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is peachy and slight citrusy. Mellow fruity and crisp hoppy. Lingering crisp hoppy. Mellow fruity. Citrusy and smooth fruity. Crisp hoppy and bitter far finish.
Tap into a whiskey glass showing translucent dark jello red with no head.
The nose is bursting with juicy passion fruit and tropical fruit notes.
The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Extremely tart with light flavors of passion fruit. A bit too tart.

Fruity and light acidic flavor of passion fruits and dragon fruits.
Tart finish
Small and short lived white head. A bit too fruity and more like juice than beer and a bit too salty. Too Hypec
From Keg@RBB2017: pours pourple, haze with pinky foamy head. Aroma-flavors: intense fruity notes, which takes on dragonfriuits, pinneapple, papaya, some other tropical fruits, also tart apples..flavor don’t follow intensity of aroma, but still very pleasant restrained funky, sour, hint of grain wheat and dry sour finish. Body is medium? Texture almost juicy smooth, carbonation is medium.
At RBBest. Pours clear dark pinkish purple. Aroma is red fruit, passion fruit, and indeed dragonfruit. Medium body, quite sour, but also tart, crisp and refreshing. Sour palate, but still fruity. Very tasty. And this has only 3.5% ABV? Unbelievable!
From tap at Sour&Bitter 2016. Pours a HUUUUGE 5!! Luminiscent ruby-purple-pink with a pink head. Aroma is sour, fruity, herbal, light lactic, passion fruit, kiwi, freakin’ soda. Taste is sour, light crisp, lovely chemicals all over, nice and fresh, though the aroma is more exciting than the flavor. High carbonation and a light, crisp body.
Bottle opened up at the 2016 Ottawa Year-end Gathering. Mostly clear rose pour with a similar colour head. Considering this was from the first bottle run pretty impressed with how fresh it seems, lots of dragonfruit with some raspberry and passion fruit, light lemon, hint of funk, really easy to drink with a refreshing tartness, mild vinegar. Mild carbonation and body although full of flavour, dries out and leaves lingering mixed tropical fruit with a balanced tartness. Yummy.
Keg at Route CBC, CBC Clapham, 02/10/15. Attractive bright fluoro purple / pink / red coloured pour with a lasting frothy pink head. Aroma is nice tangy passion fruit, citrus, raspberry berry fruits, little woody. Flavour is composed of tangy passion frit, spicy lemon tart, raspberry, hint of wood in the finish. Palate is crisp, highish carbonation, zippy. Very good.
Draft Third of a Pint at Route CBC Festival at Craft Beer Co, Clapham, London in Oct 2015 - Clear Red/Pink in colour. Small White/Pink head. Mega fruity aroma. Intense Fruity flavour; tart and tangy berry fruits, some citrus and hints of cherries. Juicy fruits tart and sour throughout. Ends quite dry. Tasty and very refreshing. Enjoyed this a lot. Terrific super-fruity Berliner! (2015-10-02)
Bottle: Poured a copper/pink color beer with a medium size foamy head. Aroma of raspberry vinegar with some ripe mango notes is quite unique. Taste is also a mix of ripe fruit notes with some mango and other tropical fruit notes with some tart and raspberry vinegar notes. Body is full for style with good carbonation. Unique take on the style and something I wish I could drink again.
Looks gorgeous. it’s a strong color. pink head, dark red appearance. Sulphur aroma but that’s it. Very thin, raspberry juice. Decent and honestly it’s way prettier than it tastes.
Bottle at Xmas 2016 gathering, thanks Stephen! Pours pink, some head and some lacing. Nose is tart, farmhouse. Notes of tart lemon, yeast, horseblanket, grapefruit. Taste medium tart, light sweet. Sticky body, light carbonation.
A rosey copper Weisse with a thin white head. In aroma, beautiful sweet fruity tropical fruits, mango, dragon fruits, papaya, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with loads of tropical fruits, oily mouth feel, light tartness, light Epsom salts, very nice. Bottle at Ottawa Xmas gathering 2016.
Pours unclear peachy red. Good white head. Smell is dry, mild sour. very typical berliner weisse. Not too much fruit here. taste is dry, sharp, fruity. very dry ending. mild sourness. Dry fruityness as well as dryness from the style. bit ’green’ ( vegetable) as well.
Tap at Sour & Bitter 2016, so many times. Wonderful berliner, tart with loads of fruit. Wonderful.
At Hopishop 2016. Aroma of wheat, tart, red fruit and cherry. Soft taste of sour fruit, cherry, passion fruit and a long fruity sour finish. Great berliner.
750 ml. bottle sampled @ HopisHop B.U.M.B. 2016. Waxed bor! Lol. Clear lightly pink, little pink head. Nose is lightly dusty maybe some age, big acidic lemon juice sour, vinegar, sour vinegar, low fruit. Taste is basic lemon sour acidic vinegar, low dust, low sour berry fruit which reminds me neither of dragonfruit which I think tastes of barely anything or passion fruit, low sour berries. Acidic lemon sour body. Nice, there is fruit but laregly it is just massive sour lemon. Neat but below what I expected, didn’t see this much lemon juice & bit of vinegar comming.
