Hottenroth Berliner Weisse 750ml, 3.1% - USA


Pours cloudy, pale yellow with a small head which disappeared right away.

Tart and citrus in the aroma.

The flavor reflects the aroma. Very thin and pale taste. This needs a higher ABV!

Wöllnitzer Weißbier 500ml, 4.5% - Germany


Looks like many people were wrong about this beer. The typical comment I heard was "It tastes great for a beer with such a low ABV." But apparently it's not. I got a bottle with a "new" home made label where it says 4.5%.. So I got the following answer:

The story is that the old label used until last year was an old-fashion one, but had a wrong declaration concerning the alcohol. The administrative office criticized that and forced him to an actual label. As he has no real time for that next to his brewery and gastronomy, he just made an amateur label on his own to be able to bottle it again. Well now it's says that it's 4,5%, but in reality it's 3,8% ;-)

Poured murky, pale yellow, with a small head which dissolved instantly.

Very citrus aroma. Some wheat, vitamin C and small lambic hints.

Sour, slightly spicy, vitamin C and wheat.

Well balanced carbonation!

Freigeist Abraxxxas 375ml, 6% - Germany


Got this bottle from one of the brewers, Sebastian.

Cloudy and murky orange with no head. Pretty much the same resemblance as the previous beer.

Light tarty smokyness (reminds me of Rauchbier). Grapefruit and citrus.

Sour and acidic taste. Citrus, vitamin C, wild apples, grapefruit, light (almost invisible) smokyness, which sends out small hints of ham. Some bitterness is noticeable. Now that bitterness is pretty much the only difference that I can spot between this and the 3.8% version.

Try this.. honestly.. do it!

Freigeist Abraxas 375ml, 3.8% - Germany


Got this bottle from one of the brewers, Sebastian.

Poured murky orange with pretty much no head what so ever.

Very interesting aroma. Quite smoky with some ham, salt and apples.

Now the taste is completely different from the aroma and not something that I expected.

Starts off very sour with a lot of citrus and vitamin C. Apples, wheat with an acidic touch.

I'm glad I've tried this. Quite enjoyable, specially at such low ABV.
