Sawmill Blackcurrant Berliner Weisse is a captivating sour ale that transports you to the heart of Germany. Brewed by the talented team at Sawmill Brewery in New Zealand, this beer is a true delight for the senses. The first thing that catches your attention is the beer's alluring appearance. Pouring a light golden hue with a hazy complexity, it sets the stage for an extraordinary tasting experience. The aroma is a symphony of tart blackcurrants, complemented by a subtle lactic acidity and a delicate sweetness that tantalizes the nose. As you take your first sip, your taste buds are greeted with an explosion of blackcurrant flavor. The tartness from the lactobacillus bacteria perfectly balances the sweetness of the fruit, creating a refreshing and thirst-quenching sensation. The moderate acidity provides a pleasant pucker, without overpowering the fruitiness. Underlying the blackcurrant notes, you'll discover subtle hints of malt and wheat that add depth and complexity to the overall profile. The light and crisp body, coupled with the lively effervescence, make this Berliner Weisse an absolute delight to enjoy.
