Had this on Bald Head Island at the club. Cloudy golden, fruit and citius flavor with a nice hop finish, just a little thin overall, and a tad too sweet at the beginning

500 ml. bottle. Pours a lasting, tiny bubbled white head, with slight lacing, over a cloudy, yellow (SRM 3) body....nose is bread and yeast, with slight hop spice.....taste is cereal, biscuit, bread, yeast, finishing with light hop bitterness....mouth feel is medium, with spritz from the medium carbonation. Light, refreshing, with all the characteristics of a Pilsner, but all somewhat light to my palate. BJCP 8/2/15/4/6

My first Pinkus beer. Nice label. I do not feel organic beer has any advantage over normal beer. Some sweetness but also sourdough bread flavors. This is just an average beer with a bland taste. The Pils poured a light straw color with some haze. The head disappeared. This my fourth beer of Christmas 2009.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Not real sure how old this bottle was, but it seemed in really nice shape. The beer pours out a clear light golden body sitting under a briliantly white sudsy white cap. Aroma is floral and grassy, with a strong grain base. Lightly sweetened on the palate, bitterness held firmly in check by the sweetness and a clean fruity note comes crashing thru (the yeast perhaps?). Clearly a really nice summer time beer, but hey...I’ll drink what I can get.

Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of pivnizub. Clear pale golden/yellow with a nicely remaining lacing tall white head. Great hoppy nose with hints of sweat, lemon, yeast and resin. Fantastic hoppy taste. Sublime hop profile. Delicate pale malt back. Gooseberries sneaking in. Relatively high carbonation. Long hoppy finish. My kind of Pils. A great beer with remarkable hop characteristics. Thanks a lot pivnizub!

A quick note aside from my rating. I have always enjoyed the heck out of these Pinkus beer labels. In one corner you’ve got the disheveled Bavarian Che’ Guevara looking fellow, and then you’ve got his partner the gentleman with no neck from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I imagine these guys starting a brewery together as some sort of brilliant "odd couple" situation where hilarity ensues.
Aside from all this the beer pours a lightly hazy golden color with a semi loose medium white fluffy head and boasts plenty of bubbles. The aroma sports the classic fresh cut hay and mildly skunky character with some very pleasant noble hop character. The flavor is very crisp with some apple and some honey and plenty of nice bitterness to balance. The palate is certainly sharp. I enjoyed this one four years ago the last time I had it, and I have to say I enjoy it now as well.
