Pinkus Hefe Weizen

Brewed by Brauerei Pinkus Müller
Style: German Hefeweizen
Münster, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

This beer pours a cloudy light yellow with a very small head for a hefe. O.k.. This is probably one of the worst hefe’s I’ve had. Litle to no aroma, no banana’s no cloves, it’s a little citrusy and watered down. Taste like a bad american hefe. Won’t ever get this one again!

500ml. Soft wheat aroma with a very faint amount of citrus. Nice hazy hefe color with pure white soap-sud head. Flavor is mild, perhaps watered down, and very basic. Smoooth palate, slight soapy aftertaste with slight pine and citrus flavors. I could see this being popular, but boring.

0.5 l bottle. Murky straw color. Bready, soapy, herbal and piney aroma. Malty, bready, herbal and lemony flavor. Fairly dry, soft and trinkable.

Noticeable lack of banana in both aroma and taste. Cloudy yet bright yellow rather than a deep gold I attribute to a beautiful Hefeweizen. There is a citrus tang to the taste though. This one is a little more expensive than alternatives available to me and is not as strong. Dunno what the appeal of this is.

Bottle, some what citrus aroma, a touch of wheat in the nose a decent head that lasts somewhat. Palate is rather light, with a bit of spice and some vanilla. Palate is much to light.

Yeasty, apple-like aroma with soft clove and banana yeast derivatives. Rather sour, even for a weizen the wheatiness comes across as tart. Dry finish with a considerable feel of floral hops. Juicy, simple and straightforward flavoured hefe weizen that does its job and nothing more.

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a white head. Soft wheaty aroma. Soft and slight watery wheat flavour. Ends very mildly flavoured.

Bottle at yespr’s place. Pours a hazy yellow colour with a fair white head. Aroma of wheat, banana and some citrus. Soft wheaty and hoppish flavour with some citrus and banana. Wheatish finish with slight citrus. Rather boring for a hefe weizen.
