Pinkus Pils

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

A bulbous white head is perched delicately atop the slightly hazy golden body. Looks more like a kellerbier. Aroma is grassy hops, grainy malts and unruly yeast. More hops lead in an aroma that also showcases bready yeast, spice, lemon oil and bitter fruitiness. Finishes sharp and bitterly drying, really lacking any defining malt character. Palate is a little too spicy and reminiscent of a poorly constructed wheat beer. Decent.

This beer’s appearance was not to my liking. Too cloudy for a Pils. It had a poor head and lacing with vitually no body. The beer did have a very nice aroma and flavor.

500ml brown bottle. Lemon yellow colour, hazy. Large white head, very creamy smooth appearance to it, long lasting with nice lacing. Aroma has some sweet malt with grass and lemon hop notes. Flavour is sweet malt, a lot of yeast character, finishes bready and yeasty with some grassy/herbal hops, trace minerals. Soft carbonation, light body.

08.01.07 500ml bottle. Nice enough loking beer is hazed pale golden with sturdy white head and spotty lace. Aroma is bready and fresh with very herbal notes that have a strong memory impact but I cannot for the life of me remember what it is. OH! It’s the paste we used in school when I was a kid! Well, that’s a bit of a turn-off in a beer, but does bring back some good memories. Anyway, it’s a bit citrusy as well and very yeasty. Finishes with a brisk bitterness but leaves a lingering sweetness and that paste is stuck in my head now, so, meh.

I am not a pilsner fan, but I did enjoy this for a pilsner. Pour is hazy gold with small white head. Aroma and taste are quite refreshing. Citrus, hops, some malty notes, and grain. A nice beer.

Organic, golden with an OK head. the aroma is typically pilsner-like with notes of malt and hops. I think the flavour is a bit thin, but it has a nice bitterness. The overall impression is an ordinary beer...

Bottle. Corn and sour dough aroma. Cloudy yellow-brown color with small head. Corn and sour dough flavor as well - very slight hops finish. This sample tastes past its prime.

Pours light golden with an effervescent body. Aroma of honey malt, toasted grains, and bready lager yeast. Tastes of lightly bready malt and sweet grains. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with lively carbonation. Not bad, but not really refreshing. I would have cared for more hops, a drier finish, and less residual sugars.
