Pinkus Special

◎ Appearance

Pours a hazy golden yellow, characteristic of an unfiltered Pilsener Naturtrüb. The cloudiness stems from suspended yeast and proteins, creating a soft, diffuse appearance. Head retention is modest, with a delicate collar that gradually subsides.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft bread dough and grain notes from organic Bioland malt, followed by dried straw and fresh-cut grass. Herbal Edelpilsen hop character emerges, complemented by subtle lemon zest and hints of stone fruit from the yeast fermentation, creating a complex yet balanced aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and grainy with a pronounced fruity note derived from the yeast. Mid-palate develops a clean hop bitterness with grass and lemon undertones. The finish turns progressively dry, with lingering hoppy bitterness that doesn't overpower the underlying malt sweetness.

◑ Finish

Clean and moderately dry, with the hop bitterness persisting into a lingering aftertaste. The finish is crisp and refreshing, typical of the German Pilsner style, without residual sweetness or astringency.

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
