On tap at the 2004 Kennett Square BF. I tried this one with the raspberry, woodruff and no syrup. I didn’t care for the woodruff but the raspberry and plain versions were decent. Sour and tart. My first Berliner Weisse and this one wasn’t that bad (I’m glad I tried the 3 versions).

on tap-pours a thin foamy white head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is mild wheat. Taste is mild, musty wheat, secondary light flat (continental) hops, hint of lemon. Light body. OK/mild effervescence.

Draft at the Bethlehem brewery. Cloudy soft milky ytellow colored body, medium sized bubbles in a white head, stacked a half-inch tall. Husky wheat, corn and lemon zest in the nose, with doughy yeast scents all over this thing. I could smell it from two feet away. Fizzy, watery texture but not exactly thin bodied, only a little bit pale and palid on the tongue. The sourness is not very well defined, it’s unpronounced, more of a lemonade juice sourness than a true lactic yeast sourness. It’s semi-tart, overall a bit mild, and it resembles a lemon soda at times, but it also has a moderately heavy wheat quality. Probably comparable to some of the more sour hefeweizens. Still, though, it’s pretty tasty.

Hazy pale golden pour, with off-white head. Aroma of orange zest, clove, hopcitrus. Tastes citrusy and floral on the palate, with the coriander kicking in late. Pretty smooth finish.

Without any syrups, this poured a hazy gold color with a large white head and nice lacing on the glass. Funky lemon, and barnyard aroma. Taste was tart green apple, some sourness, and wheat. One of the better Berliner Weisse’s out there!

Kennett. Had this with both syrups and straight up. I’ve gotta say I liked the straight up version best. Pours light yellow with hardly a head. Taste is lightly sour and really refreshing.

Draft @ Bethlehem Brew Works, pre-BCTC beerventure. Pours a cloudy, yellowish-white color; fluffy white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Lots of wheat in the aroma, with the slightest tart lemon character. Very minimal sourness / tartness throughout. Medium mouthfeel: pleasant wheaty and lemony core; crisp tartness keeping things very drinkable, but there’s just not a lot of flavor in here otherwise; tasty wheat and lemon, basically. Pretty quick finish.

I don't even know why I sampled this one at the pub, but they included it in the sampler anyway, so I had to at least give it a try, I've had only one other Berliner Weiss and I didn't care for that one, and I certainly don't care for BBW's either, I just must not care for this particular style, the beer seems flat with no head, no body, no carbonation it seems, and very little flavor, it's sour and not very pleasant tasting
