On tap at Poor Henry’s, dried apricot puree souring increased by tart lemon acidity, salty alkaline minerality and acrid barnyard desiccation. Streamlined Berliner Weiss will appeal the newly converted and may be suitable as crossover fodder.

‘Exquisitely peculiar’ hybridized Berliner weiss (a.k.a. Uberlin) really tastes like Lucky Charms cereal with its sugary fruiting riding above tart raspberry woodruff syruping while hiding stylishly sour lactobacillus acidity. Marshmallow-tweaked tropicalia ensues mid-palate as lemony orange, peach, mango, guava and papaya illusions gain prominence.  A helluva good gimmick.

On tap at Ambulance, tartly citric moderation utilizes freshly-squeezed orange juicing, but its affectation fades fast as soured lemon pucker gains hold above salty bottom. Wispy mandarin orange, curacao orange and blood orange undertones given clean mineral-watered crisping.

Crisply clean wort-soured Berliner Weiss places lactic lemon-limed acidity atop musty barnyard acridity and salt-watered minerality. Mellow white wine vinegaring, wispy green apple tartness and zesty orange rind bittering dry up. 

On tap at Ambulance, loosely defined Berliner Weiss brings tart lemon-soured pucker to the fore above musty barnyard-dried straw wheat leathering. Vinous white-wined cider acidity, sharp green apple pucker, oaken cherry snip and mild peach-mango caress pick up salty limestone acridity. Sessionable citric-soured moderation works as stylish crossover for lighter thirsts previously apprehensive about ‘wild ale’ styling.

On tap at Ambulance, leathery Berliner weiss lacks advertised blueberry flavor and aromatics. Instead, tart lemon, oaken cherry and sour yogurt illusions camouflage blueberry blurb as mouth-puckering lactobacillus acidity increases above ultra-dry salt watered bottom.

On tap at Track 84, easygoing dry-bodied moderation allows salty sea-watered minerality to embitter tart lime-peeled lemon licks and sour-milked yogurt zing. Light lactic acidity grazes straw-hay-barnyard acridity at astringent citric finish.     

On tap at Ambulance, reserved 3.75%ABV Berliner weisse retains soft-toned strawberry effervescence. Salty coriander fizz prickles soured watermelon, peach and pineapple undertones. Mossy earthen leathering fortifies ultra-dry fruited nature. Up the strawberries, though.

On tap at Ambulance, lactic-soured Berliner weisse camouflages ultra-dried peach tone and smoky white wheat sedation with tart lemon-lime parch. Salty carbolic fizz adds sparkly prickle to delicate white peach niche. 

Whispery straw-paled Berliner Weisse with ‘Napoleanic sour streak’ places lactic citrus tartness and subtle limestone bittering above delicate wheat-flaked pilsner malts. Kettle-soured lemon zest, green lime and tannic white grape illusions receive stylish briny salting. At the salty lemon-limed finish, plain yogurt tang adds delicate intrigue to low alcohol delight.

Confoundingly hybridized kettle-soured black berliner collaboration utilizes tart omani lime pucker and lactic brettanomyces acidity to engage syrupy raspberry tannins (as well as tannic green grape-like Balsamic vinegaring). Salted seaweed nuance and grassy hop fizzle increase limey dryness. Compost waft may turn off less adventurous thirsts.

On tap at Ambulance Brew House, ultra dry sour ale serenades tart peach pucker with more profound sea-salted coriander spicing, vinous green grape tannins and leathery straw wheat acridity. Plain yogurt backdrop receives lilting lemony limestone licks.
