Our Thoughts
Today we have "Peach Crusher" which is a Berliner-Style Weisse Wheat that could be compared to a Light Scottish Ale. Rated at only 3.8 ABV's this is a drink for an easy night where you don't want something too strong. This is a beer for those who are tired of light lagers and want something with a little bit of a kick. You will still find a nice crisp taste but a higher IBU profile makes for a great drink.
Berliner-Style Weisse Wheat
This is very pale in color and the lightest of all the German wheat beers. The unique combination of yeast and lactic acid bacteria fermentation yields a beer that is acidic, highly attenuated, and very light bodied. The carbonation of a Berliner Weisse is high, and hop rates are very low. Clarity may be hazy or cloudy from yeast or chill haze. Hop character should not be perceived. Fruity esters will be evident. No diacetyl should be perceived.
