About This Beer

The crew at OEC developed an inviting base by using a traditional triple decoction method — removing part of the mash and boiling it over higher heat to unlock flavors of rising bread dough and fresh-baked crust.

Then they carefully hopped the brew with Hallertau Mittelfruh for hints of wildflowers and let it rest for a night in their coolship, trapping microflora from the open air. Finally they transferred it to a tank with some of their house yeast and let it ferment slowly before 6 months of conditioning in oak.

Tasting Notes

All that work in the brewing process makes for a crisp, mildly tart brew that might just replace those Lagers and Pilsners for your yard-working, beach-playing, sports-watching occasions. The ultra mellow ABV means you can tip one back just about anytime, and it will add a zing to your refreshment that you just won’t find in other ‘crispy bois.’

Light lemony with a nice funk to it. Finish is tart

Hazy, straw gold color. Frothy white head dissipates to a small cap. Tart, yeasty wheat malt aroma. Flavor is funky, yeasty and hay-like. Added notes of lemon and mineral. An amazing interpretation of the famous Berliner Kindl Weissbier that I enjoyed back in Berlin in 2019.

Strong funky scent, a classic Berliner Weisse aroma that practically smells sour. Pours very pale and cloudy, with a frothy white cap. Light-bodied and effervescent. Very tart but definitely sessionable. Really honors the traditional Berliner style. Would have loved to get a few more to try with the traditional raspberry or woodruff syrups.

So very good. A little bit of good funk in the aroma. Taste is light and crisp with a gentle lemony tartness. Just right for a warm summer evening.
