Pinkus Hefe Weizen

This isn’t a bad drink, but I think it’s most characteristic hefeweizen trait is the glass that I poured it into. There it displayed a relatively clear golden body with a modest head that quickly vanishes. The aroma is a mild toffee malt with a touch of wheat and a squirt of orange juice. The flavor was mainly the barley and wheat malt tastes with a bit of citric tartness, and it finished on that light sour note. I never have much luck with organic beers.

Smell was metallic and yeasty. Cloudy light gold with a fine white head. Very crisp taste with lots of yeast and some pear in the background. Not bad, but nothing struck my fancy.

Golden in color with small white head. Typical wheat beer. Lemon and orange with a hint of banana. Crisp and refreshing.

16.9z bottle. Heady nose consists of sweet nuts, bananas, cloves, yeast. A lot like autumn. Good hazy golden hue. Mild head retention. Taste is similar to smell. Lotta banana, nutty clove, slight citrus zest. Tingling mouthfeel. Typical example of the style. Crisp and refreshing. Not too heavy and it has a sweet, citrus melon flavor that goes down smooth.

pours like cloudy lemonade with a creamed white head. sour acorn and seaweed nose. malt ball flavor with some nuts and the flavor that tastes like raw malt smells. very smooth sweetness. just a bit of butter in the finish. gets chalky half way through.

Sampled from bottle. Pours a cloudy, yellow-gold with a generous, creamy, white head and nice lacing. Aroma is mild with notes of citrus and hard candy. Flavor is mostly balanced with floral and citrus hops. Has a solid malt profile with a tartness from the wheat. Medium-bodied and moderately carbonated. A refreshing hefe.

500ml bottle. Pours cloudy golden with a fluffy white head that recedes to a small cap and laces a bit. Typical yeasty citrus aroma, nice. Flavor is lemony, yeasty, typical hefeweizen. Palate is a bit thin and watery. Very refreshing, soft flavors. Nothing exceptional and nothing to complain about. Probably better as an accompaniment to a meal than as a nightcap. (I’m having a nightcap, or two, or..) Enjoyable and easy drinking, yet average. $2.99 at Broudy’s, Jacksonville, FL.

Bottle poured cloudy yellow with a crisp yeasty aroma. Flavor is citrus, fruits and yeast with a dry yeasty finish.
