Another from the Mikkeller box, and this time it's one of their sour beers, namely a Berliner Weisse. Again, not much is said about this brew, but it seems to be the base of a lot of different variations. I served this chilled.

Appearance: Crystal clear with a weak white gold colouring. The head is a really thick
pure white and almost meringue-like consistancy.
Aroma: Like a standard pale ale but with a little bit of vinegar in the back.
Flavour: The head is quite bitter with a waxy twang but the actual beer is much less sharp in flavour with a thin sweet malt followed by lemon rind and a nice subtle cider vinegar.
Body: Very light with a some weight right at the back.
Aftertaste: The sharp vinegar not is a bit more prominant in the afternote, but not overly so.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, unusual but a little too much like vinegar, unlike other Berliner Weisse' which have more of a sour note.
Price Range: Another from the box of 10 I got for £14 (usually £29), so it works out at £1.40 for a 330ml bottle, it's a decent price as it's a bit unusual, but I probably wouldn't get it again as it's not the best.
Food Pairings: I think the vinegar notes would go well with a vinegarette on a light salad.
