Porterhouse Haus Weiss

Brewed by Porterhouse
Style: German Hefeweizen
Dublin, Ireland

Draft at the London location. At the bar, this was listed at 5.0%. An unclear orange beer with a thin lazing white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of bananas and wheat. The flavor is sweet and artificially candy like with notes of orange, banana, and bubblegum. Too sweet - and too artificial in its impression.

Draught @ Porterhouse, WC2, London. Hazy yellow / orange color with a small white head. Aroma is yesty, sweat, banana. Flavor starts moderate sweet and light acidic and bitter, ends moderate sweet and acidic and light bitter, with a average duration.

Draught at Porterhouse, Covent Garden. Wheat beer with flavours of banana and bubble gum. Very refreshing it not utterly unique

Draught@brew pub, Dublin. Hazy orange-yellow, creamy white head. Loads of bubblegum and banana in the nose. Loads of bubblegum and wine gums in the flavor. Lemony aftertaste.

Tap@The Porterhouse, Covent garden, London. A fizzy weiss. Edgey grainy wheat flavour. Bubblegumy, with a touch of clove /banana (almost a banana lolly type flavour. Pretty bad, thin fizzy and sugary.

Cloudy appearance (but not very cloudy). Pale yellow colour. Subtle aroma of bubble gum and banana, no clove at all. Flavour is similar with a lot of wheaty dryness. Banana esters and a dry finish. Light citrus character as well.

Draught - Porterhouse, London. A hazy yellow-brown coloured beer with a slight off white head. The aroma is full on bubblegum with not much else in the way of estery notes. The taste has some bruised banana and is quite phenolic. Quite a lot going on for a hefe. Decent.

Banana and wheat are both strong and well-balanced with accents of clove spiciness and some hints of vanilla and coconut in the aroma. Opaque yellow body is topped by a decent and lasting, bright white head. Overly sweet banana flavour with plenty of slightly sour wheat character and surprisingly stron bitterness in the finish. Spiciness emerges in the aftertaste and lingers on the tongue. Crisp, light body with strong, lively carbonation. Seemingly very well made but not so much to my taste. Sampled on tap at the brewpub in Temple Bar (May-06).
