Berliner Weisse Peach - Berliner Weisse

Berliner Weisse is a controversial beer style Some love it, others hate it This is probably mainly due to the fact that in Berlin you hardly ever get served Weisse that hasn't been adulterated with sugary, colorful syrup In the original, Berliner Weisse was drunk plain and without any additions, It was only in the 1920s that the addition of syrup became en vogue Many beer connoisseurs and enthusiasts do not see the syrup as an enrichment and are therefore rather critical of Berliner Weisse Espiga has come up with something very special to de-escalate this conflict: A Berliner Weisse with peach! Goodbye syrup, here comes peach!

The Berliner Weisse Peach from Espiga is a prime example of Berliner Weisse: Light-bodied, refreshingly tangy and wonderfully sour To cleverly counteract the acidity and avoid having to resort to syrup, Espiga has used freshly harvested peaches for the brewing process, giving its beer a full-bodied fruity note The sunny yellow beer with a slight cloudiness smells wonderfully fruity of peach as soon as it is poured, The sweetness of the smell is not directly reflected in the taste; instead, an elegant interplay of fruit sweetness and acidity hits the tongue The peach is combined with the fresh taste of citrus fruits and ends in a fruity, dry finish

This Berliner Weisse is a shining example of the beer style in its original form, the peach a tribute to the modern interpretation

A success!
