Freigeist Bierkultur Berliner Scheisse Berliner Weisse at 5% ABV (C$6.39 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 330 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 4-Aug-2017, reviewed 8-Aug-2017)
Appearance: murky deep amber with a short, short-lived light beige head, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: doughy yeast, faint strawberry, grass, earth. (5/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter, light tart. (4/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, short duration lightly tart finish. (3/5)
Not that I claim to speak German, but doesn’t “Berliner Scheisse” (or, at least “Scheiße”) mean “Berliner Shit”? And, truth be told, that’s uncomfortably accurate in this case. Possibly oxidized, this was ugly and mediocre at best, really quite unimpressive, and I drain poured most of it. (10/20)
