Lov Beer

Beer, I love it and after spending the last couple years following great blogs in the Bay Area I have decided to join the club. I have been passionate about beer for years, worked as an assistant brewer and sales rep for a local brewery. I have had more than my share of glasses and have even traveled to Germany, Ireland, England and of course Belgium to enjoy the local flavors. I hope to discuss new beers coming out, cooking, homebrewing and everything beer. Any feedback is appreciated.

Beer Review: The Bruery Hottenroth Berliner Weisse

I have to be honest I have had some mixed feelings about some of the beers from The Bruery. The most recent beers I have had are Mischief which I enjoyed and now Hottenroth. Hottenroth is a Berliner Weisse style, which is apparently an upcoming trend in beer styles. As I have said many times, my girlfriend is a huge fan of sour beers, which gives me great incentive to purchase them when I can.

Hottenroth pours out hazy, light yellow straw color.
Aroma: tart, some barn funk, and wheat
Taste: sour upfront, citrus notes, nice wheat malt flavor
Mouthfeel: medium carbonation, dry finish
Overall: It's a very good beer, coming in at 3% it's super drinkable and the sourness is not overwhelming. I would definitely grab another bottle.
