Boulevard Berliner Weisse returns on draft and in cans (NEW!) on July 9th in the Greater Kansas City Area with other regions to follow! Our take on a fairly traditional German-style, low ABV, tart wheat beer, we first brewed this beer in celebration of Boulevardia 2016. Given the overwhelmingly positive reaction the beer received coupled with how amazingly enjoyable it was during a hot weekend, we’re excited to once again share Boulevard Berliner Weisse with a much wider audience!

Based on a malt bill composed of our two-row base pale malt, malted wheat and CaraPils, Boulevard Berliner Weisse features subtle bittering with Topaz hops and additions of orange, lemon and lime peel at the end of the boil to punctuate a soft lactic acidity with bright, citrus notes. Following brewhouse acidification with our house lactobacillus culture, Berliner Weisse was fermented with our house ale strain, the same yeast used to produce perennial favorites like Pale Ale and Unfiltered Wheat Beer.

With refreshing lactic acidity providing a slight zip and fluffy carbonation creating a thin layer of white foam on a light bodied, straw yellow ale, Boulevard Berliner Weisse opens with citrus aromas hinting to the soft sourness and lemon, lime and orange peel. The flavors deliver on promises made by the aromas in a crisp, tart beer that’s incredibly flavorful and fruity while being super refreshing and ideal for a balmy summer day.
