lots of weisse

Its been a while since I have posted, thats just me being lazy. I have tried a number of good beers in the time, so I'll give a short review of em here

Jupiter is a brew pub with a beer garden in Berkely CA, A blues group started performing shortly after we got there... great atmosphere

Jupiter HefeWeissen: blah
bright orange color, bland American weisse taste

Jupiter Helles: good!
nice Munich helles style, very crisp and drinkable, much better then their weisse

Gordon Biersh Hefeweissen: good!
This was surprisingly good for an American Hefeweissen. The beginning taste was not quite traditional.. but it ended strong like a real Bavarian weisse, I was impressed. It also went well with the garlic fries I had for lunch.

Sam Adams Honey Porter: good
I'm usually not a big fan of porters or dark beer in general, and Ive found most Sam Adams beers to be average, this is different though. It poors out like a nice dark porter. Has a nice honey nose to it, tastes quite good... will say more about this after Shelby's Indiana Jones party on sunday(where more awaits me in her fridge)

lastly a rant: I was out at pub trivia with Shelby last night(Tomy Doyles in Harvard SQ) and they had one of my favorites on tap, Paulaner weisse, Im usualy a 1 beer sorta guy out at pub trivia, but since they had this exemplar of Bavarian weisse on tap, I went for 2. The first was served perfectly: half liter weisse beer glass, about an inch of head. the 2nd however was served flat, 12 oz in a pint glass, I was not happy... maybe Im just a wheat beer snob I figured that maybe they were out of glasses, and the 2nd would be cheaper then the first... but no they cost the same... never going back there again.
