August Schell Brewing Company Dawn of Aurora, New Ulm, Minnesota. Noble Star Collection #5. Starkbier Berliner Style Wheat Ale. Bottled October 2014. Ale aged in wood.
There's a tag around the neck of this bottle, that I will help you read. I'll scan it and post it, or find a link or something, and then you'll know what's up with this starkbier. As for me, I'm just going to open it up and drink it, and give it the once-over that way. Let's do it!
Appearance: Beautiful golden color, cloudy, smallish head.
Aroma: sour'n'fruity. Peaches, apricots, apples. Bold fruitiness coming from either the yeast or the aging. Funky, sour twist persists. This is something else.
Taste: Wheaty texture and sour twang kick the palate first, with fruit washing in afterward. Fruity sweet followed by sour twist. Full-bodied, full-flavored, long, sour finish. Brisk, crisp, lip-smackingly delicious. Fruit notes don't quit, and the sour keeps a-comin'. Add to that that it's delicious.
