Berliner Weisse - An acidic, light-bodied style of Wheat (weisse) Beer made in Berlin. Traditionally served in a large mouthed goblet and usually laced with either a dash of raspberry syrup or woodruff. Best served at 45 – 50 degrees F.

Berliner Weisse (alternative German spelling, Berliner Weiße) is a cloudy, sour wheat beer of around 3% abv.[1] It is a regional beer from Northern Germany, mainly Berlin, dating back to the 16th century.[2] By the 19th century, Berliner Weisse was the most popular alcoholic drink in Berlin, and 700 breweries produced it.[3][4] By the late 20th century there were only two breweries left in Berlin producing the beer, and a handful in other parts of Germany.[5] The name "Berliner Weisse" is protected in Germany, so it can only be applied to beers brewed in Berlin. However, there are a number of American and Canadian brewers who make a beer in the Berliner Weisse style, and use the name.
