Prenzlauer Berg

Brewery: Põhjala Brewery
Supplier: Beer52

A special brew from this Estonian brewery, this one being a Berliner Weisse with the addition of Raspberries and Lactose. The hops they use are the standard Hallertau Blanc, and it has the additions of oats and spelt in the malt bill. I served this chilled.
Appearance: A light amber colour with hints of a plum red, especially when held to the light, sort of like a murky rosé. The head is a pure whie colour but thins to a lase practically at pouring. 
Aroma: Raspberries with some sour hints, a little bit of yogurt and vinegar in the back. 
Flavour: Some lovely red berry sour notes with some fresh juicy notes, a little bit of vinegar. 
Body: Light and refreshing, turning really dry and tart in the back.
Aftertaste: The sour notes turns into much more of a yogurt notes, but the red berry notes prevail throughout. 

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 8, I'm biased to a sour, and this one is a lovely fruity one with nicely complementing yoghurt note.

Price Range: Another from the Beer52 box, so about £1.10 for a 330ml bottle; but this is obviously not the price you would normally pay. I like this a lot, and the price is fantastic, but it wouldn't be one you have a lot of.

Food Pairings: Would be great on a warm sunny day with a fresh salad that has a lot of salty cheese like feta.
