Berliner Weisse

Berliner Weisse is a pale, highly carbonated, sour wheat beer that originated in Northern Germany in the 16th century. It features a clean lactic sourness with minimal hop bitterness and a light, effervescent body, traditionally brewed with a mix of Pilsner malt and wheat malt, and often fermented with a combination of traditional yeast and lactobacillus. Historically called the 'Champagne of the North' by Napoleon's troops, it's traditionally served with sweetened syrups like raspberry (Himbeersirup) or woodruff (Waldmeistersirup) to balance the tartness.
