Destihl Wild Sour Series Counter Clockweisse

Destihl Brewery Wild Sour Series Counter Clockweisse. Berliner -style Weisse Bier. Brewed and Canned by Destihl Brewery, Bloomington, IL, USA.

Hazy, straw yellow, slim, white head.

Tart nose to start it off, some funk and some fruit, and we got the wheat in there, too. Intriguing, to say the least. Inviting, as well, leading me drink.

Intense tartness once on the palate. Massive attack of the sour. Smallest bit of bitterness, and not a drop of sweet. You've got to be in for this one, not for the faint of tongue. Sour candy flavor is the biggest impression. One of the boldest Berliner Weisses I've had in a long time.

What's the gobbledygook? "This "reverse engineered" Berliner-style Weisse Bier is our interpretation of a sour German-style wheat ale that is very pale, light-bodied, low hopped, highly attenuated and pleasantly acidic and lemony tart from our unique spontaneous wild yeast and lactic fermentation. Cheers. Alec. 3% by Volume. IBU: 4."

Wish I knew why they say it's "reverse engineered." Maybe someone will tell me.
