I've passed on this a few times but pulled the trigger last week at Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. Pour is a hearty looking, mid-brown body with some nice frothy head. Lace is great. Lovely looking. Nose and tastes give a touch of acidity followed by lots of light malts and yeasty goodness. Flavorful and happily moderate with the ABV, there is plenty of German malt and yeast character here. Culminates with some nice, rounded aftertastes and a light, biscuity malt touch in the finish which...
Notes on beers brewed by
Brauerei Pinkus Mueller
Organic Münster Alt
Not really at all sure what is going on here, like the other Pinkus beers that I have tried it's rather odd. This beer has a slightly clouded macro yellow color with plenty of carbonation. Nice head and some good lacing. The beer is an ester-filled, malty and sweet bomb. It finishes quite acidic and with a mild hoppy, dry presence. Very smooth, quite drinkable, but where it fits into the traditional "Altbier" scheme is difficult for me to tell. I often wonder if the Organic moniker has...
Organic Ur Pils
Unfiltered Pils! Extremely light yellow with some haze and a lot of fine carbonation. At the bottom of the glass it is so light it almost looks watered down - literally. Good head and some nice lacing. Bread like aroma, with a little yeast character. Tastes are wheat based and almost Hefe like.

Perhaps a little less traditional Pils...
Organic Hefe-Weizen
$2.99 Hiram Bottle Shop, Hiram, GA, USA. 500 mL bottle. I was in the mood for a Hefe - not a very common occurence - but I was. January in Atlanta and the sun is out and the temperature is in the mid-60's so I thought it was a good time to crack one. Unfortunately this came up short in almost every department. Pour came with a decent head, but lacked the huge pillowing effect that I was looking for. Color was a little too butterscotch influenced (lacked the yellow color, had more orange). Nose...
