What Our Editors Thought
“Chalky strawberry-cherry nose with a touch of funky fermentation esters. The sip leads with a hit of fruit acidity but never devolves into full-on sweet territory.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Nose of overripe strawberries left in the sun. Madagascar vanilla, strawberry, marshmallow flavors up front; a hit of cherry sweetness balanced by some trademark Berliner tartness, and some dry earthy character on the finish. The acid is a little too high to be sessionable.”
What the Brewers Say
“Luscious strawberry and cherry aromas meld with a sweet vanilla base.”
