Pinkus Pils

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

Herbal, flowery and grassy aroma is the high point. The flavor is ok too, but doesn't quite match up. The hefe was overcarbonated, this was a little too much in the other direction. Go figure. Overall a decent pils.

Pours flat and kind of murky. Not what I expect from a pilsner but I guess this is what I get for buying a fancy organic beer. It sits in the glass lifeless with a thin foam ringlet. The smell is great. Carmel, rock candy and hops. Taste is very good as well. Hazelnuts and grain. Thick full finish. Not a great beer for the style but a very good beer. Just wish it looked a little better.

A cloudy yellow colored beer. A small, soapy textured, white head rises briefly above. Settles quickly into a thin ringlet. The nose is sweet and herbal. The tasting much the same, throwing som lemon in the mix. A light, soft effverescent beer.

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.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy beige/yellow color pils with a good size foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of malt with a light floral profile and some crisp dry hops are also noticeable. Taste is a mix between some floral malt with some distinctive hops from Plzen. Full body with some great carbonation. I thought it may have been a bit too grainy but it was still very enjoyable.

A reasonably soft pour produces an almost three-finger thick, frothy, pale, off-white colored head that retains quite a bit of structure as it slowly recedes. The beer is a lightly hazed honey color that is incredibly well carbonated and shows an almost clear, straw-gold color when held up to the light. The aroma smells of sweet grain, hay, lightly herbal hops and lemon zest. While this has some hop notes, the nose is quite grain focused and actually the aroma is fairly complexly malty considering that it is a Pils.

Clean, sweet grain flavors are tempered just a touch by a crisp hop bitterness that becomes more noticeable upon the second quaff. This somehow tastes a bit like watered down lemon juice without the tartness (if that makes any sense). Grassy / hay like notes seem to be contributed by both the grain and hop character and this is no where as sweet as my first sip of this seemed to have suggested. This does have a hint of tartness to it and perhaps even a wisp of diacetyl is just barely noticeable. The malt character is the most interesting thing in the flavor, though perhaps not quite to the same level as the aroma; saltine cracker grain notes, and a pale malt character add just enough to make this somewhat interesting.

Not bad, but does not really seem a very good example of a pills. I do like the grain character here, but it is not enough to really make this good. Purchased: Plaza Liquors, Tucson AZ

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.

Pours a rich, hazy golden-yellow with pillowy white head and thick lace. Fresh aroma of hops, malts, citrus zest, and some pepper. The mouthfeel is smooth, light creaminess, and decent body. A flavor dominated by the barley malts and citrus.

Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is malts, hops and bigtime honey. Flavour is watery hops with some slight honeyish notes. Also some wooden notes after it gets warmer.

Im guessing this is the organic one. A nice floral aroma jumped out as i poured. Yellow gold color, unfiltered is always a plus for me though there are sediment chunks floating around which isnt so good for a pilsner beer. Sticky head....Taste is pretty bland up front, well its clean and once i get into it there some nice yeastiness/hint of banana, basically mellow tasting, light hops, slightly bitter, cheerios, hint of butteryness. A broad taste..... Mouthfeel is just north of thin. Not that intriguing but what else is new in german pilsners. Pretty good by the end it held up
