Ich Bin Ein Berliner Weisse
Berliner Weisse • Extract • 20 L
This is a traditional Berliner Weisse recipe. It is wheat beer with a very sour taste. It is usually served ice cold in a large glass with a good dash of either woodruff or raspberry syrup (the Hugonaughts were the first to add syrup as they found the beer far to sour for their tastes). It is also traditionally drunk through a straw. Trust me this is very refreshing on a hot day. Please do not confuse this style with the German or Bavarian Weiss or weizen style. Apart from being both wheat beers, they are like chalk and cheese, with virtually nothing else in common taste wise.
