3.6 Pours hazy dark golden color with white head. Tart fruit and yeasty aroma. Slightly tart flavor with some dough. Light body with moderate carbonation. Refreshing and easy drinking on a hot day.

3.8 Hazy pale tan, has a lot of tartness, a bit wild, has tart fruitiness, dry slightly puckering finish. I like it.

3.4 Pours an amber color with almost no head. Aroma is sour with tart fruits and yeast. Flavor is kind of light up front but the sourness really comes out on the finish. Not overly sour. Not terrible overall.

3.0 Strange pepper aroma. Light sour Orange flavors coupled with a hint of wheaty malt

2.9 Bottle. Golden bodied with no head(even though it had good carb.) or lace. Aroma is tart fruit, wheat, grains, dough and yeast. Taste ups the sour a bit with more tart berries, lemon, funky yeast notes, bread dough and grains. Body is light and very bubbly with a dry finish. Ends with more yeast notes, dough and tart fruit.

3.4 Tasty but blood orange is better! Not too sour, great on draft. Abcdefghijk

3.1 Quite tart, fruity, sour. Some lemon and cherry seem to be in there. Hints of malt and a wheat-beer-like yeast. Interesting.

3.3 Pours a golden color with almost no head. Notes of lemons, fresh air, white vinegar, and some earth. Good tart mouthfeel but a bit one dimensional.

4.0 Nicely balanced, not the sour bomb so many are. Starts off tangy and sour with a crabapple finish. Very refreshing.

3.1 Pours a bright golden orange...Aromas of yeast, light tart, and a touch of apple. Starts a little wheaty and goes sourish. Wanted more "SOUR".

3.8 12 ounce bottle Based on past experiences with Weyerbacher I approached this with caution. Fortunately the low cost made it an easy purchase. Next year I might not overthink things so much; this does a great job of being what it should and nothing more. Aroma / Appearance - A transparent bubbly body looks like watered down pumpkin. Crisp minimal head helps buffer the vinegar and peaches that cut through the air like a knife. It is a tad too strong for a typical Berliner Weiss but not full on abrasive. Flavor / Palate - Bubbly champagne cools the tongue and throat. A peachy Riesling slowly turning to vinegar sticks in the memory. The sharp bite keeps it from being completely world class although if treating this as an American style sour you could overlook that flaw. If more $1.99 bottles were this good I’d probably not buy many bombers again.

3.8 Hazy gold appearance with a small, wispy head and light lacing. Let it air a bit and was rewarded with an aroma of leather, yeast and sour grapes. Funky, tart, vinegary flavor balanced by orchard fruit. Crisp, dry aftertaste that lingered. Refreshing change of pace.

2.3 Very Lightly tart smell, taste is very light....too much so...one dimentional...slight tart but smooth...too straightforward/one dimentional. for long term drinking though...watery finish

3.2 Crabapple nose. Hazy amber, thin head. Green apple and sour cherry, tart. Some chemical overtones. Black cherry finish, but still more tart than sweet. Light body, moderate carbonation. Not true to style but unique and enjoyable.

2.9 Bottle: The aroma consists of light musty wheat, citrus, faint lemon, and straw. It pours a mostly transparent golden-orange with a touch of haze and a small white head that quickly fades to a thin film outlined by a thicker ring. There is some sporadic dotted lacing left on the sides of the glass. The flavor starts with with light citrus. There some dirty/musty grain flavors in the middle. The finish has light tart lemon and some wheat. It’s light bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, I’m not digging the grainy flavors.

3.4 12 oz. bottle. Pours light copper, slight head. Aroma was sourness, grains and fruits. Taste was sour and tangy.

3.1 Bottle from Bethesda Food and Beverage. Bold orange body with sizable, puffy head. Nose is sour and fresh cut apples. Taste is quite crisp and clean up front, some apples, and then gets slightly sour in the end. Then it sweetens up a bit too. I quite like this one as I am normally not a sours fan.

3.6 Aroma of grass yeast and light citrus. Deep orange copper body. Flavor is bread, yeast and a touch of citrus. Nice full body with an impulse for more.

2.8 [Bottle (12oz)] Pours a slightly hazy golden-orange with a small diminishing frothy white head. Aroma is not what I expected, it’s grainy, sweet and papery. Light sour flavour, a touch vinegary, grainy and with notes of honey and apple. Average bodied. Disappointing.

3.1 Bottle. Pours a fizzy light good with little head and aromas of skunky hops (think Becks), Pine Sol, a little bit of sweaty funk. Flavor is a bit of pit sourness (peach?) with low carbonation and little complexity or interest. A little bit of that Pine Sol cleaner/solvent edginess to it.

3.4 Cloudy yellow, white head. Typical and average BW. Spritzy, lightly sour, wheat and yeast.

3.2 Aroma - some wheat, barnyard yeast funk, dry white flesh fruit esters. Appearance - the body is a clean, straw-yellow, there is minimal nucleation. The head is 1/8" and white. The head quickly rings out. Taste - the beer is sour with some white flesh fruit tastes, barn yard lacto yeast. There is some wheat muted. Palate - light body, somewhat vinous texture, lively carbonation, and dry sour finish.

3.0 On tap @ Barley’s - Asheville. Sort of a golden colored beer, I suppose, with some white foam. There’s a little tartness and lemon character, but not necessarily much sourness...which is fine, I suppose. There’s a good bit of grass, straw, and cracker. Sort of a raw flour/dough thing to it, though. Kind of dry. Pretty light. Eh.

3.5 Pours hazy light gold, thin head. Light lactic tarness, light body. Decent domestic berliner true to style.

3.6 Bronze cider color, and decent carbonation, with just a trace of ringed head. Gentle wheaty and tart nose with nuances of stonefruit and vanilla, and heaven-sent lemon scent--quite lovely and restrained. The body is of hay and wheat with a watered lemon tartness that is even more subdued than in the aroma. Light cereal grain finish. Refreshing.

3.3 Not much in the aroma apart from wheat and a hint of sour fruit. The flavor is lemons, wheat, mild salt, malts and a slightly tart/sweet finish. Not a lot going on but a decent session.

3.1 Amber color . Thin, white head . Lactic acidity and malt in aroma . Sour taste with lemon and apple notes. Low carbonation. Refreshing, easy to drink.

3.5 Bottle. Earthy lactic lemon malt and lemon peel aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Lightly earthy lemon malt and peel flavor. Nice body. Tasty.

3.7 Bottle: Clear, medium gold with a white ring. Apple, lemon scent.....a bit of vinegar.... Taste is the same...lightly tart... Very nice...clean and crisp. Very bright.

2.9 Pours a clear amber with a fizzy and short lived white head. Smells of leaves, crabapple, caramel. Taste is moderately sour and sweet, hint of bitterness. A bit sour apple, biscuit, floral hops. Comes together as tart and refreshing but not particularly special.
