Pinkus Hefe Weizen

Decent beer pours a yellow color that is very hazy. Smells sour and wheat like. Tastes like wheat and malt. Ok beer.

Pours a cloudy gold with a sharp, yeasty aroma. The flavor is like that of a normal hefeweizen, but there is a crisp, dryness which is quite unusual and worth experiencing.

(bottle - 500 ml) Cloudy orange color with a puffy and fizzy white head. Aroma is very light and subtle with hints of grains, bananas, and yeast. Flavor is extremely subtle, especially for a Hefe. Light banana and clove flavor with a toned down wheat and yeast flavor. Watery and clean finish.

Botted at RBESG 07. Cloudy yellow. Papery malt aroma. Sweet and almost free of esters. There’s crackers, orange and vanilla, yet cardboard dominates. Low bitterness.

Bottle, train from Edinburgh to Glasgow, RBESG 07. Very wheaty, some fruit, especially strong on the banana. Mouth is sweet and more banana. Metallic. Nothing special, really.

Poured an opal like lemon-gold with a tall white meringue looking head. The nose was of soft cloves and bready dough with fresh wheat that has some raw yeasty notes. The taste starts nicely crisp and very sharp with light citric elements and a soft body that benefits from a tart wheaty middle. Bananas appaer in the finish mixing with a creamy clove feel that lingers with a sharp fruity finish. This is a nice, solid, pleasant Hefe. This is also all organic.

On train back to glasgow. Wheaty, glove, biscuity malt, grassy hop, very very carbonated, to be honest boring.
