Freigeist Bierkultur Köpenickiade Vineyard Peach – Berliner Weisse at 3.5% ABV

Freigeist Bierkultur Köpenickiade Vineyard Peach Berliner Weisse at 3.5% ABV (C$5.89 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 330 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 4-Aug-2017, reviewed 7-Aug-2017)

Appearance: opaque pale gold with one finger of fizzy white head diminishing rapidly to a thin skim, no lacing. (2/5) Aroma: doughy yeast, stone fruit, light brine. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild tart, low bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry mildly tart finish. (3/5)

Starts off dominated by doughy, bready yeast, with mild stone fruit fairly far behind. The taste is similar, with restrained tartness. Nothing bright, crisp, or refreshing about this, and I find it a fairly disappointing example of the style. (11/20)

5.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
