This beer had everything going for it…. Blood Orange, Mango and Passionfruit.  Everything but the taste, for me.  A disclaimer: I am not a huge fan of Weisse beers.  But it was recommended and the other recommendations from the same person had been spot on.  This beer had a very sharp bitterness of Citrus peel and it was hard to get past it.  I like tart but this was beyond tart.  I kept thinking there would be something of a finish but it was so held down it never surfaced.    This one will stay in the beer fridge until my brother-in-law comes over.  He is a Weisse Citrus guy and will probably love it.

 

THEIR STORY:  A Florida Weisse is a decidedly more flavored take on the tart, wheat beer originally brewed in German, called Berliner Weisse.  We create the sharp tart flavors in our brew kettle just as they originally did in Berlin, but as the beer matures we add loads of fresh fruit or other flavors to create a taste profile that is distinctly Floridian.
