More information about Snowy owl Kennedy Berliner Weisse
Berlin is the hip capital of Germany and has always attracted interesting people. Everyone would like to be a Berliner, as the former President of the United States John F. Kennedy confirmed.
A beer is named after this illustrious personality that is indeed a Berliner in heart and soul. Kennedy is an original Berliner Weisse from Schneeeule, which is not only brewed in the capital, but also tastes just like it. In addition to the usual suspects, the label on the Weisse contains a number of unusual ingredients: saccaromyces, brettanomyces and lactobacilli. What sounds like a chemistry set are special yeasts and lactic acid bacteria that give the unusual beer a very special kick and support the natural acidity of Berliner Weisse in a sensational way.
Kennedy presents itself in a cloudy amber gold color in the glass and is crowned by an impressive amount of airy foam. A delicately sour aroma typical of this beer style wafts into the nose. The first sip reveals a light-footed body with refreshing fruit and a palatable 3.5% alcohol content. A lot of sparkling carbonic acid makes the aromas dance on the tongue. Notes of green apple, pink grapefruit, orange and lemon peel, oven-fresh brioche and lightly roasted malt are also present. A pleasant tartness and crisp acidity accompany the drinking pleasure and skilfully round off the interplay of aromas.

Berliner Weisse is Ulrike Genz's favorite beer and the reason she started brewing in the first place. As a Berliner, it was and still is her desire to give good, traditional beer back to her hometown. With a lot of heart and craft, she has built up the Schneeeule label and brews wonderfully refreshing beer in a one-woman process and fine creations like Schampus Weiß Vintage, which was created in cooperation with Bayerischer Bahnhof and Freigeist Bierkultur. Snowy Owl Ulrike came up with these unusual names while taking a closer look at the Berliner Weisse: Crowned by white foam, the beer shines in bright light yellow. Yellow and white are also the dominant colors of the snowy owl, yellow eyes on white feathers. Ulrike also liked the three consecutive E's in the name, an eye-catcher, just like the monochrome labels with the large owl spreading its wings. Extraordinary is the name of...
