Pinkus Pils

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

Poured a light yellow/orange with a good two fingers of head. The nose was of light malts, lemons and floral hops. The taste started bready and malty up front with grassy/citrusy notes and ended with a nice bitter hop backbone. It had a nice, smooth, medium feel. Pilseners aren’t among my favorite styles, but this one is quite good.

50 cL bottle of "Ur Pils". Noble hop aroma backed by a bit of yeast. Golden color with a white head that flattened. Medium bodied; the carbonation bites a bit. The flavor is light sweet pale malt - a bit biscuity. The finish is rather dry, and has citrus and grassy notes. A decent bitter finish. Arguably crisp and clean.

Bottle sampled. Pours golden with a large white head. Aroma of citrus, floral and grassy hops. The flavor is sweet pale malts upfront and finishes with a citrusy bitterness. Not bad.

Decent pils, higher carbonation. Not too watery. Not best example of style, yet not offensive.

0.33 l bottle, 5.0 %. Mine was not cloudy and it was definately pils, not ur-pils, so I’m pretty sure there is a mixup in Pinkus products. Anyway, clear pils with crispy nose. Fresh flavor with medium grassy hoppiness and malts, no aftertaste really. Very straightforward pils and a pretty good one. Good balance. It’s nice that there is a bio product that doesn’t taste overly bio as they often do.

Cloudy yellow, similar to a hefeweizen. Little bit of white head that doesn’t last too long. Smell is mostly of the yeast which is much like a mild hefeweizen light spiced smelling yeast. Taste is some spiced yeast, a touch of malt, and almost no bitterness. I guess I prefer my beer non-organic because this isn’t doing much for me. This does not taste like a pilsner to me. Tastes more like an American wheat. Not what I was expecting and not something I care for, although it is drinkable. I can’t see ever having the opportunity to drink this for free anywhere, so I probably won’t be having this beer again. Nothing special.

500ml bottle - Pours hazy gold with a moderate head. The aroma has yeast, mild malt, and some light floral hops. Flavor is mild hops, sweet malts, and yeast with a medium body and a soft mouthfeel. This brew is easy drinking and refreshing yet flavorful, a good pilsener.

500ml bottle Golden pour with small dying white head. Aroma of light hops. Flavor is very earthy with grassy hops. Smooth, but bready.
