On the ninth day of Beermas I picked out for me
A fruit-filled dressed-up lady
Alcoholic café con leche
Hopefully unendangered feathers
A laid out insomniac
One secret promise
A possibly chatty barnyard animal
A random French reference
A bird that's not a pigeon
And a flamingo with mangoes and beets
I scoured those shelves for a fitting stout or porter, and what did I find instead? Berliner weisse. Not just any old Berliner weisse, Beavertown Dame Melba Phantom, flavored with peach and raspberry. Of course, the real selling point is that the good dame looks like she's about to head out to the ball, but we can't ignore the novelty of peach and raspberry beer! I've had both individually, but together they're a new sensation.
Peachy-pink, grapefruit-looking stuff, but a fairly low and sour aroma. Not quite grapefruit in there. Sharp and acidic at first, but then it rambles down into something sweeter, more like the peach. You can't get away from the Berliner weisse sourness, but it does get tamed pretty quickly by the fruits. While raspberry has a tendency to be syrupy and even heavy with lambic style beers, this is quite light. True, I had hoped for a nice black beer again, but Dame Melba can hold her own.
