Mikkeller Hallo Ich Bin Berliner Weisse Mango Berliner Weisse at 3.7% ABV (C$4.65 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 500 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 23-Sep-2017, reviewed 10-Oct-2017)
Appearance: hazy pale straw with one fat finger of fluffy white head, excellent retention and well-defined lacing. (5/5) Aroma: mild, mango, lemon zest, crackery pale malt, lacto sour, hint of sulphur. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate tart, low bitter. (7/10) Light body, lively carbonation, crisp tart finish. (4/5)
A little disappointing compared to the other versions I’ve had. Not that there’s anything actually awry with this, but I was expecting more mango presence and if anything the lemon zest of the base wheat beer threatens to dominate. Not only that, but as it warms a hint of sulphur becomes apparent. A pleasant, fairly plain, mild Berliner Weisse, but nothing special. (15/20)
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
