Pinkus Special

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

(Bottled) Colour is golden yellow, unfiltered and slightly hazy, with a firm white head, leaving some lacing. Lively, but not disturbing, carbonation. Nose is malty, with an underlying grassy hop character and hints of citrus (lemon). Taste is malty, bready and grassy with hints of sweetness and fruity hints of lemon. Grassy hops in the slightly drier finish, but not really bitter. Soft and pleasant mouthfeel, well balanced, fresh and smooth. Not really exciting, but well crafted and refreshing.

Bottle. Pours a golden-yellow body with a small white head. The aroma is soapy, perfumey, and subtle notes of soft cookie hay. The flavour is on the boring side again - it’s typically just grainy sweetness and fairly mundane. Soft carbonation. Sampled at the Københavnske Øldage 2006 on May 20, 2006.

Gold, clear creamy top. Fruity nose, sweet pale malts, hints of berry. Medium bodied lager with strong fruity, berry like accents. Good as session beer, light bubblegum-cookie malts as well.

Much bulky and supporter head; optimal persistence. Yellow nearly "dirty" color, lightly hazy and with a good fizz. Flowery and acidulous scent, light notes of cereals and clear grape. Medium prickly taste, little alcoholic and with notes of wine cellar and must. Acidulous and sweetish with bitter nearly absent. Medium end. Not a lot balanced and with excessive aromas.

Bottle (Utobeer): Golden in colour with lovely fine carbonation and a lasting large white head. Aroma is a little boring, very mild floral notes and a touch of stale malt. Flavour is a little dissapointing too, boring stale biscuits and mild grassy hops. Could be better, but clean and refreshing.

A good brew, suprised by the hops for this one, a nice bitter flavor too, then it calms quite abit, finishes quite smooth. Thanks to Yogi_Beera for this one!

Bottle. A slightly hazy, light yellor body with a big white head. Aroma of floral hops and grapefruit. The palate is pleasant, good carbonation. The body itself though is disappointing: very weak and watery. There is virtually no flavor at all, just hints of bitter hops, a bit of malt and that’s about it. Disappointing.

(on bottle)Hazy, light orange and a small, off-white head, lasting. Absolutely 2round" nose, like taking a dive in a mashpool, spice it with rosehips and sour apples, there´s P. Special for you. Taste was a tad to the acidic side, but still a very plesant drink. Carbonation just perfect. Since it´s organic, I´m all for this baby.
