Independence Red Bud Berliner Weisse

As springtime continues its transition into summertime, my beer palette often begins to seek out lighter, sweeter, more sessionable brews to while away my hours to, the days longer and the beers colder.  Austin's Independence Brewing has a pretty tart and tasty Berliner Weisse beer on the market called Red Bud, presumably named for the lakeside dog park here in town.  The brew pours a light, clear gold with a nice white head, and smells of lemon, citrus, and bread.  The beer is tart and sour, with the citrusy lemon flavor at the forefront and some notes of yeasty breadiness on the back end.  It's like having a cool glass of lemonade on a hot day, but it's a beer.

Visit the brewers.
