Master brewer David Hertl is known for his fearless use of unconventional ingredients. The young wild man from Thüngfeld has had to leave Bavaria a few times to put his crazy ideas into practice. His most famous stroke of genius is the cucumber gose : a classic gose that David puts his own stamp on with a generous portion of cucumbers. A beer you either love or hate. The latest creation from Hertl’s pen is less controversial and much more pleasing.
Instead of cucumbers, the Franconian chooses what is probably the most popular fruit of the summer to refine his Berliner Weisse: raspberries!
The classic from the capital naturally has an intense acidity, which doesn’t necessarily correspond to the taste of the general public, but brings a great freshness to the glass. The brewery combines the brew with fresh raspberry puree to give it a fruity component that goes well with the acid. After the brewing process is completed, the beer is aged for more than a year. This extended storage brings harmony to the play of aromas and makes the taste more complex and finer. The finished brew flows into the glass in a delicate old pink and gives us a summery bouquet of crisp acidity, tangy freshness and delicious raspberries.
