Pinkus Special

Brewed by Brauerei Pinkus Müller
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Münster, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of pivnizub. It pours a hazy golden beer with a poor head retention. Charcoal, nice hops, candy, lemon, yeast, melon, cork, vanilla and tobacco in the nose- pleasant and inviting with a lot of character. The taste is really reminiscent of a tripel- very special. Medium bodied. Good hop profile. Rather present carbonation. Creamy palate. Yeasty. Nice and subtle bitterness. Some marmite sneaking in which makes this beer definetely slightly unpleasant. Lime appearing on the swallow leading to a dryish citrusy finish which reveals hints of melon, very faint naphtalin and lemon peel. A beer with plenty of character. I really like the hop profile. Thanks a lot pivnizub!

Bottle. Hazy golden body with a medium white head. Malty bit grainy aroma with fruity and light dusty notes. Flavour is mainly malty with some fruit and dusty hops.

Hazy yellow, like the sun prevailing through the skies. Sweet aroma of malt and grapefruit. Malt and banana flavour with a little metallic finish. A little sticky. (Shared at beer session 02.apr.09.)

01.05.2009, 0,5l Bottle. The colour is pale yellow.The beer is hazy and the head is long lasting when you poor it fast. there is not much maltaroma. The bitterness is also a little weak. This beer generaly tastes litle. Some fruitines in the aftertaste.

Bottle. It pours a slightly hazy, golden body under a quite small white head. Grainy and slighlty fruity nose, some hay and cooked rutabaga chime in. There’s some cooked vegetebles in the flavor too, along with hay, grains and some fruityness. A little citrus and pine too. Low on bitterness. Medium body, quite effervescent. Lasting but a bit weak finish with a little bitterness to blend with the fruityness and grains. A quite refreshing and drinkable beer, but a bit too effervescent, and the DMS is way to obvisous. Finished the bottle, and maybe I could have had more, as the off-flavor and aroma sort of mellowed after a while. Won’t buy more of it though. (090408)
