The Twelve Beers to Christmas - 12

The Twelve Beers to Christmas - #12
Professor Fritz Brien, 1809 Berliner Weisse

This light bodied wheat based sour beer is the perfect choice after setting up the Christmas tree.  Crisp and citrusy with a light sourness, this low hopped, unboiled beer hits the spot.  It is brewed with a traditional sour mash as well as lactobacillous fermentation, giving it a wonderful tart flavor, not over powering, but rather balanced for this small a beer.

In this segment, "The Twelve Beers to Christmas" I will be sharing a beer each day leading up to Christmas.
