“Mikkeller’s favourite berliner weisse – now with a ton of blueberries added!”

Glassware: Teku.

Appearance: Striking colour. Kind of a light cherry red with dark pink highlights. It forms two fingers of creamy pink-tinged head which slowly reduces. Tonnes of lace left in its wake.

Aroma: Subtle variations of blueberry leading out…fresh, macerated and some candied blueberry as well. It has a really deep vinous accent which is really impressive considering it’s only 3.7%. Hints of Ribena juice, blueberry yoghurt, wheat grains, zesty lemon rind and a flutter of honeysuckle. Actually the latter becomes more floral the longer it sits in the glass. Lovely stuff.

Flavour: Unexpectedly dry and bereft of the typical sweet and tart juiciness that is so synonymous with blueberry-flavoured sours. There’s a tiny amount of sourness upfront then a faint touch of tart blueberry comes through early in the mid. Wheat grains and blueberry-flavoured soda water is the best way to describe it as it carries into a dry finish and a whole lot of nothingness.

Mouthfeel: Bone dry, lightly sparkling Co2. Mild-medium body and the 3.7% ABV is on par for the style.

Overall: This is the first time we’ve ever been nonplussed with a Mikkeller beer. It’s not only the lack of blueberry flavour it’s the complete lack of any flavour at all. Bizarre.
