Pinkus Hefe Weizen

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

Sampled on 4/18/2009. This hefe weizen pours a slightly cloudy yellow gold color from a 500ml bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head with nice retention and good lacing. The aroma is some malt, but mostly banana and bubblegum. A light bodied hefe-weizen. The malts are cereal, fruity and sweet. Some banana and clove flavors but not over powering. There is more cereal and grain in this one. There is some of that classic banana and clove flavor and yeastiness to this one, but not as much as in the aroma. Lively carbonation. It is also a touch watery. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Tastes like lemonade. Makes me wonder if I could feasibly have set up shop at the age of 8, made a fortune selling this to the other kids and played dumb when the authorities caught up with me. Now I’ll never know. Pity, that.

Good wheat beer. Nice that it is organic and they dont jack up the price. Cloudy orange/yellow appearance. Somewhat citrus flavor and crisp and clean on the palate. Good refreshing beer for the summer.

Butter’s 4th cellar reduction. Hazy yellow with a foamy white head. Sweet citrus wheat aroma. Overall pretty weak, could use more wheat.

Bottle at the Fourth Butters’ Cellar Clearance Event. Pours a milky pale yellow straw with true white fading head. Grassy and light lemon. Slightly bitter lemon pith flavor with some wheat. Moderately slick and low carbonation. Not the best I’ve had.

500ml bottle at Butters’ 4th Cellar Reduction. Pours a white head that leaves a few bubble clusters and a cloudy, banana yellow body. Smells little wet dogback along with some yeast, banana, and spice. Tastes earthy with citrus notes that liven the palate.

Bottle. Poured a hazy golden with a fluffy white head that settles to a ring and had light lacing. The aroma has banana, clove, wheat, and some yeast. The flavor found banana, wheat, and citrus. Light body, tingly carbonation with a light tart and wheat aftertaste.
