What Our Editors Thought

“Crisp yet mild lemony acidity in the flavor is punctuated by a light nose that only hints at the tartness. It’s clean and succinct, not too sweet and not too dry, like a San Pellegrino Limonata with its own adult kick.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Tart, slightly salty, lemon, and light cracker. The enjoyable lemony notes come across as a ‘grown-folks’ lemonade and could easily get you (and perhaps your toes) in trouble if you attempt to use this as a lawnmower beer. This is distinctively crisp beer is dangerously crushable.”

What the Brewers Say

“A refreshing, gently tart, German-style wheat beer. Our take on the classic Berliner has a blend of citric and fruit notes with nods to cider and sauvignon blanc.”
