Pinkus Hefe Weizen

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

Bottle. [Courtesy of yespr, tasting @ yespr] Small rocky white head that mostly diminished. Cloudy orange colour. Fair lacework. Banana, wheat, citrus, fruit. Light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Light sweet and acidic flavour. Light sweet finish.

Bottled. Aroma is yeasty and has citron. Cloudy, yellow coloured with a medium, white head. Taste is slightly sweet, bit yeasty with some grassy hops and a hint of wheat. Quite light bodied. Not much taste in this one.

When I first opened the bottle I got a strong, sharp wheat aroma with some undertones of spice. It pours out a clear wheat yellow with a thick and fairly persistent head. Flavor is smooth but with a good bite, fairly typical of a hefe-weizen, with a whisper of citrus flavor, a little bit watery, but tingly and pleasant. A decent wheat ale.

Bottle. Pours deep yellow with a lasting, fizzy, white head, spare lacing. Aroma is average malt (grain, hay, straw), average hops (grass, herbs), average yeast (earth, barnyard) with notes of apple. Light bodied, slick texture, average carbonation and a chalky finish. Short duration, light sweetness, acidity and bitterness.

500 ml bottle, bought at Real Foods, Edinburgh. ABV is 5.0%. Like all Pinkus Müller beers, it is organic. Cloudy pale yellow colour, huge white head. Strong and typical hefeweizen aroma, spicy notes of cloves and banana, hints of farmhouse and oak. Soft mouthfeel. Wheaty flavour, subdued cloves and banana, moderate sweetness. Another good hefeweizen, but not the very best.

Bottle. Pours a medium gold color with not much of a head for a weissbier. Some aroma of banana, clove and bubblegum but, not overwhelming. Flavor of wheat and banana somewhat subdued. Kind of bready tasting. OK but, not great.

Decent beer pours a yellow color that is very hazy. Smells sour and wheat like. Tastes like wheat and malt. Ok beer.

Pours a cloudy gold with a sharp, yeasty aroma. The flavor is like that of a normal hefeweizen, but there is a crisp, dryness which is quite unusual and worth experiencing.
