Tame pale-hazed ‘weizen’ with dry white wine warmth and fresh hay undertow displaced by plantain-banana balm, dainty floral-clove modesty, sour lemon wisp, and raspy orange blear to wheat biscuit bottom.

WEIHENSTEPHANER & DOEMENS 1809 BERLINER WEISSE
Slender golden-hazed glow radiates drier, bitterer German wheat beer supposedly first brewed for Napolean (and re-created by Dr. Fritz Briem). Extremely tart lemon juice frontage sags to sharp cider bittering. Sour grapefruit, unripe orange, and blanched banana-kiwi diminish below unexpected lemongrass proclivity and musty barnyard waft. Faint clove spicing barely sweetens quinine-watered backdrop.
