Has anyone had one of these Blender series beers from New Park Brewing in Connecticut? They claim that the beer is a berliner weisse beer but is conditioned on "massive amounts of fruit". They also mention that due to the fruit content, the beer MUST REMAIN COLD unit consumed. This seems odd to me, but maybe its because they finish the beer then cold condition on the fruit for a certain amount of time and they are maybe afraid that the yeast will reactivate and consume the fruit?? They also note a "yogurt complexity".
These beers are THICK,opaque and tart with some sweetness..... really good. I am looking to clone. Anyone have any experience with trying to replicate these??
They have all different flavors such as blueberry, raspberry, mixed berry, pineapple (or was it pineapple cherry?), etc.
Any ideas? I imagine they are doing a Lacto kettle sour with lots of white wheat, oats and lactose and of course a CRAP TON of fruit.
If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I would like to do one of these early spring (i have too many going on currently--- 2 NEIPAs, bohemian lager, belgian strong ale, not to mention some blackberry wine)
