Pinkus Hefe Weizen

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

Nice looking hefe, maybe a tad lighter yellow than the usual ,very nice frothy,thick white head.. Aroma is quite subdued for style but perfectly pleasant with hints of wheat, not very yeasty, lemon grass, a hint of hay, not spicy. Taste is quite weak here mostly wheat, some very feeble esters, bananas, peppery on the back of the tongue. Ok on the palate, i will say average because its a very hot day here. Not impressed with this one a weak German hefe.

Lightly spicy floral aroma, hint of wheat and yeast. Mild array of flavors: wheat, yeast, citrus, spices...slightly acidic. Not as dense and rich as others, somewhat watery (hate to say it)... overall, pretty good...I’ll drink it again. Probably not as bad as some say...

These motherfuckers! I was well aware of this beer’s average rating so I wasn’t expecting much.....until I poured it into a glass. Holy freaking crap this sucker looks good! Gorgeous cloudy yellow color with an amazingly HUGE white head that lasts and then lasts and later lasts some more. Too bad it’s not very good in any of the other categories. The aroma isn’t horrible, hints of lemon and lots of grain. Nothing special. But then the flavor hits and I get super pissed! This beer is boring dammit and by boring I mean it’s that bad kinda boring that isn’t horrible tasting. I get hints of citrus but none of that good banana clove thing that I love in this kind of beer. I get some weird grainy sensations. Overall, I get nothing though. I’m not happy with this beer and I’m only unhappy because it doesn’t suck. There’s nothing worse than mediocrity. I could laugh at this sucker if it were terrible. Instead I get to drink it and wish it were better. And what’s really pissing me off is that the lacing is fucking beautiful throughout my mediocre beer experience. I’ve never had a beer look so good and taste so ok.

Poured a very hazy dark yellow color with a small white head. Yeasty doughy aroma. Sweet malt with mild lemon notes. Malty flavor with a citrusy finish. medium body.

Cloudy light orange / yellow color with a creamy white head. Sweet wheat aroma. Flavor of wheat and grain.

Bottle. Slighty foggy white-yellow body with a small white head. The aroma has fruity banana, cheese, and minerals. Lively, prickly carbonation. The flavour is missing a lot of the typical fruity characteristics of the style and therefore doesn’t really intrigue me. Sampled at the Københavnske Øldage 2006 on May 20, 2006.

Pale bright cloudy gold, thin fizzy head. Thin, faint citric nose, grapefruit. Watery body. Citric front but off bland hefe character. Smooth finish.

Pours hazy orange with a thick white head. Typical clove and citrus in aroma. Flavour is quite fruite with strong notes of yeast. Some ham is present. Hints of pears and banana in finish.
