Dainton Family Brewing – Blood Orange Berliner Weisse, 2017, 3.5%ABV, 500ml can.
Drank on 30/11/2017 from I.B.S
Appearance: 3.5 – A large soft head that subsides to a thin coating with soft minimal, soapy lacing. Lots of fizz. The beer is cloudy but translucent, its a very light pinkish tint to its light straw colour.
Smell: 2.5 – White wine, a little funky, acidic “puke” a bit like pino gris wine, mineral, steel, some lemon.
Taste: 3 – Minerally, slightly tart, white wine again like a pino grigio or maybe riesling, light citrus notes obviously orange, lemon, citric. All very light tasting that fades to a soft mineral/citric note.
Mouthfeel: 3 – Very effervescent, quenching, like soda water, with a dry finish and a slight acidic bite .
Overall: 3 – Extremely sessional and very refreshing. Nothing feels flawed or off-putting about this beer in anyway. Its a good version of the style.
