I reviewed the honeydew melon version of @yullisbrews Dolly Aldrin Berliner Weisse in September last year and loved it. The guava version is even better!! I drink a lot of Berliner Weisse and I think this might be the best I’ve had this year (I still count 2018 as this year until the @gabsfestival Hottest 100 has been run and won – see my top five later this week). It’s slightly fruitier than most, thanks to the tropical nature of guava, but the slightly spicy, sour and dry base beer proves a winner. Fresh from the brewery in the middle of a Sydney heatwave, gees it disappeared quickly.
Squeeler from the brewery. Pours a light cloudy straw, with very small white head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of wheats sourness, Apple cider tartness and a big tropical fruit element. There’s nice, moderate sourness throughout, with wheat, apple cider vinegar and big, juicy guava, mango, grapefruit and pineapple. Ends on a long, tart citrus note. Well carbonated (high). Great beer on a hot night.
3.8/5. Trent.
