Bayerischer Bahnhof Brau & Gaststättenbetrieb
Leipzig, Germany

They Say: "History: Huguenots may have originated the style as they traveled through France to Flanders, having first mentioned it in the 1600s. During their time, there were said to be seven hundred weissbier breweries in Berlin. Later, in 1809, Napoleon and his troops identified Berliner Weisse as the Champagne of the North. He requested the beer be served w/syrup to cut its extreme level of acidity. Bayrischer Bahnhof’s interpretation is a slightly softer, more mellow version of the “Berliner Weisse” style with a beautiful balance of tartness, fruitness, and sweetness."

We Say: Poured a light, white-yellow under a pale white, effervescent head. The aroma was very cider-like with a bready, grain character. The thin mouth carried a crisp, fruit flavor of apple and citrus. A clean, crisp, fruit aftertaste lingers long after the swallow. This beer is not overly sour, just nicely tart and cider-like.
