Festina Pêche

Sour - Fruited Berliner Weisse

A refreshing neo-Berliner Weisse, Festina Pêche is available during the sweaty months. Sadly, there are only a few breweries left in Berlin still brewing the Berliner Weisse style, which is characterized by its intense tartness (some say sour). There were once over 70 breweries in Berlin alone making this beer! In addition to fermentation with an ale yeast, Berliner Weisse is traditionally fermented with lactic cultures to produce its acidic (or green apple-like) character. Served as an apertif or summertime quencher, Festina is delicately hopped and has a pale straw color. To soften the intense sourness, Berliner Weisse is traditionally served with a dash of essence of woodruff or raspberry syrup. In Festina Pêche, since the natural peach sugars are eaten by the yeast, the fruit complexity is woven into both the aroma and the taste of the beer so there is no need to doctor it with woodruff or raspberry syrup. Just open and enjoy!

This one was kinda flat and dead. I think it waited too long. Lots of sediment in the bottle.

Didn’t realize this was a true dour when I grabbed it. A little too much do for my tastes. Also don’t care for the peach/wheat pairing

"Peche" indeed. Peach and sourness. Sweet, stays pretty fluffy and bright, not overly comped. Watery and light at finish. Crushable.

Crazy earthy carbonated nose. Straightforward bright and tart front with enough balancing sweetness. Classic but really good Weisse style.
