Pinkus Pils

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

Bottled. Poured hazy straw golden with a short cap of white head. The aroma picked up lemon rind and sourdough bread upfront (more sour than anticipated) with a bit of fresh grain beneath.. actually a bit sweeter than hoped for as well. The flavor had tart lemon and dusty, dirty yeast laced throughout.. cereal and bready sweetness at the core.. finished sour, but with too much sweetness to be refreshing. Lighter-bodied with tacky malts and the aforementioned sourness.. didn’t flow well. It wasn’t awful, but it didn’t work for me.

Poured from 500 ml bottle. Aroma reminds me of the beer my father drank when I was a kid (Rhiengold) - gotta give it points for that. Pale gold and cloudy. Thick white head. Hop and malt flavors come through distinctly, but not overpowering. Finished well. A pleasant surprise.

Bottle. Poured a hazy cloudy body with huge head. aroma is light hops, grainy. Flavor is grainy, light citrus but overall mellow and slightly bland.

Pouring a terrific foamy white head, this has a bright, clear gold colour. Nice lacing was an added bonus to all this. The aroma was barely hopped, with some floral grassiness being the main feature. Taste was smooth and mild, with a slight sweetness to the aftertaste. Mouthfeel was clean.

Bottle 50cl. w. swing top @ home.
Alc. 5.0%. Light light unclear medium yellow orange color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, moderate to light heavy buttery. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20090430]

I’m not a big Pils fan, but here goes: Average head, and spare lacing. Hazy appearance, yellow. Flavors of bread, hay and cereal. Light hops. Light body, and oily texture. LIvely carbonation. Not bad.

Pours a cloudy straw yellow with a thin layer of foam and a touch of lacing. Aroma is fresh yeasty bread and honey. Taste is quite estery, a bit sweaty with very mild noble hops and a lingering bready sweetness. Good carbonation, crisp body with a light creaminess. Odd sweet bready character, not as crisp and refreshing as one would hope.

Pours a slightly cloudy pale golden with a full small bead white head that lasts. Sweet grassy bouquet and some breadiness in the aroma. Pleasant sweet pale malt taste enhanced with a mild citrusy character and a little brown sugar. Mild hop bitterness. Quite refreshing and tasty.
