Berliner Weisse are the white beers from Berlin and are characterized by being pale, refreshing and with a low alcohol level. A German wheat beer with a sharp (moderate to moderately high) bitter aroma, may have a fruity character (often lemony or sour apple). Large, dense, white head with little retention. Always effervescent. Flavor dominated by lactic acidity and can be quite strong, generally some complementary wheat, bready or grainy flavor is noted. A restricted fruity citrus-lemon or tart apple flavor can be detected. Very dry finish.
