Pinkus Pils

Brewed by Brauerei Pinkus Müller
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Münster, Germany

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

This pils pours a nice golden amber with a thick but not persistent head. Aroma is richly malty with a fruity hint. Flavor is fully malty with a whisper of sweetness and a little hop bitterness as a nice counterpoint, as well as some hints of apple. Texture is very smooth, more like a cider than a pilsner, and there is a little hop flavor in the aftertaste.

500ml - Aroma is very sweet like cotton candy and not much else. Pours cloudy yellow with a medium head and good lacing. Flavor is Euro malt with subtle spicy hops. Palate is creamy and tart. The aroma is so artificial and sweet, it really killed this one for me.

Bottle, pours a medium hazy honey gold with orange and amber touches, a white head that relaxes to a thin or less covering and ring, labels states that this beer is not filtered, you can see that with the pile of sediment in the bottle and particles in the glass, medium lacing with fine bubbles on the glass, nice malt aroma with malt sweetness and faint honey and bread on the nose, faint cookie and floral fragrances, flavors of light malt and malt sweetness with a nice soft lemon citrus at the end, even crisp bitterness at the finish that is good and dry on the tongue and is not abrupt but really pleasant, medium mouth feel, not a lot of carbonation, a touch of water thinness but is very nice to drink, I recommend trying this beer.

0.5 L bottle pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with a foamy white head. Aroma of bread, honey and lemon. Sweet and tart citrus taste. Bitter finish.

500ml bottle. pours hazy w/ sediment floating golden with white head. nose of rye, peppery hop notes, with some banana and sourdough notes. flavor is bready with peppery hop notes, slightly sour and yeasty. really tasty tough. a nice pils here.

50cL bottle. Pours a hazy bright yellow with dense white foam that fades to a thin layer, very nice lacing. Fairly light grassy hop aroma, little bit of citrus rind peaks through also. Little hint of pilsner malt flavor comes through before the German hops overtake. Not overly hoppy, very balanced in fact. Very nice bitter finish.

Pours cloudy straw. Smells of fresh cut hay, slight citrus. Tastes of slight lemons and oranges with a bigger malt/hop balance. Lots of carbonation that lingers in a surprisingly long tart finish. Great stuff.

Interesting strength in taste for a pils. Pours a cloudy orange, yellow with thinning head. Citrusy and bright with a nice pucker. Interesting flavors with bold carbonation. Good specialty beer. $2.79 for 1/2 liter. 90%.
