Pinkus Pils

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

Nice full bready and carrot aroma. Notes of oranges in the background. Thin white head. This tops the deep gold body. The taste is malty and full for the style. Some notes of ginger and wheat bread. Also some hints of celery in the aftertaste. Decent, but nothing special.

Hazey yellowish hue, good head formation. Clean malt aroma, slight grain. Well spiced palate, dryish with cloves, fairly bitter and astringent in the finish. Finish spoils things a little.

Cloudy gold with an ample white head. Aroma was malt, yeast, some hops, lemon zest. Good carbonation but thin and watrey body. The flavor was subtly sweet and malty. A forgetable beer.

The hops have a very strong presence in this beer. Like chewing dried fresh hops. This beers taste is very "clean", reminiscent of Nordic pilsners, that taste like they were made from glaciers. The carbonation is strong, and lasts through the whole drinking of the glass. It’s overall flavor is unique in this class of beer, and it is a bit stronger than the average pilsner. An interesting one to sample, that needs multipple samplings to really get a hold of it’s complexity.

Yellow. Classic German Pilsner aroma, with pils malt, light fruits, clove, honey, herbal, spicy and grassy hops. A very pleasant tasting Pils, especially up front and on the mid-palate. Grainy, fruity malty texture. Notes of clove, light fruits, bananas, pears and honey. The hops are subtle, which is why I liked it, grassy and herbal. The onlu complaint is the poor finish. Nontheless, this is an impressive Pilsner.

Fruity, hoppy, grassy aroma. Same goes on in the taste. This has the typical fruity Pinkus taste and it ´s starting to bore me. Nevertheless, this is a fine Pilsner of the sweet, fruity variety.

This pils pours with a pale golden body topped by a thick, white, foamy head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet and fruity with a nice sweet grassy hope note. The flavor is slightly sweet and a touch bitter with a little fruitiness and a nice hayey, grassy hop note. A very nice Pilsener. Light, crisp and smooth with a little dryness.

This poured a hazed yellow color with a fairly thick white head. That went away quickly. Grassy, yeasty aroma... and I don’t pick up the latter with my schnozz too often. A mild citric flavoring with a subtle hint of spices. Slightly bitter finish. Not too impressive.
