Hello! Regarding your very recent post about St Patrick's Day Beer: Himbeersirup is indeed Raspberry syrup, not strawberry as you've stated. Also, Berliner Weisse without syrup can be quite refreshing on a hot day when served cold, it has a lower alcohol content of about 2.5 vol % if I remember correctly and is indeed pretty sour on its own. I prefer it with the Waldmeistersirup, which is probably impossible to get anywhere else but it Germany. It is *very* artificial in flavour AND colour. Anyways, I hope you and your wife have a wonderful Sunday evening!

(also to @schimmelspore)

I finished that post and the long one about coddle at about 4:30AM, then went to bed - and woke up at 6AM thinking Erdbeer oder Himbeer, Himbeer oder Erdbeer? which was very odd since Ich sprech nur die Turist- u. Speisekartedeutsch Dialekte.

I didn't bother fixing it (6AM after all) though with the Heinzelmännchen on the job, I should have done!

(It's fixed now!)

Markus did mention about Berliner Weisse's sourness and low alcohol strength - prompted maybe because I was just then tasting Fürst Bismarck for the first (furst?) time... :-> and also told us that the bottled versions of Weisse were very "soft-drink" in look and taste.

(DD suggested it was like an "Alco-pop" and he agreed, I suggested it might taste like a Belgian Frambozen and he said a bit, but far weaker).

He recommended that when we finally got the chance to try it in a Berlin Kneipe we should order draft, and also (not just because we were Irish) that the green version was best.

That was when someone else in the con bar chipped in with a Three-X-Go-Into-A-Bar Joke which you probably know.

Three Germans go into a bar. One's from Berlin, one's from Cologne and one's from Munich. The Berliner orders a Berliner Weisse, the Kölner orders a Kölsch and the Münchener orders a mineral water. The other two ask why, and the Münchener says "Well, since you're not drinking beer I shouldn't either..."

Reinheitsgebot or not, regional beer is serious business in Germany - and seriously regional too, which is why I've yet to find and try a Roggenbier or a Gose.

More for the bucket (or appropriately-shaped glass) list!

Found a six-pack of this, covered with dust, on a shady bottom shelf at my favorite beer store. Didn't notice 2016 until I got it home. Labeled as a "tart wheat ale." Certainly tart . . .
