I also thought maybe it had something to do with Mozart\u2019s <em>Exsultate, Jubilate<\/em> (K. 165), a 15-minute motet for soprano that pops up fairly frequently at Christmas time.<\/p>\n<p>I thought wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong.<\/p>\n<p>But at least the beer was a good choice. It is considered a celebratory beer (and hence makes the cut for this month), albeit one that\u2019s been around since 1966, when the brewery proudly took note of its 150<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary by harkening back to darker German lagers of the early 19<sup>th<\/sup> century. It has been available in the U.S. since 2008.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1104\" style=\"width: 217px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/tombedell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2010\/12\/mozart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1104\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1104\" title=\"mozart\" src=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/tombedell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2010\/12\/mozart-207x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"207\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1104\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mozart<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Mozart never entered the picture.

It was written for the Italian castratro Venanzio Rauzzini, who had performed in Mozart\u2019s early two Italian operas. Given the contemporary paucity of applicants for the position of castrati, the part is a staple in soprano portfolios, thanks in part to a wow finish.<\/p>\n<p>Might as well include a sample here. I don\u2019t think there are too many beer reviews with Mozart arias included in them, but we try to appeal to all the fine tastes of our readers here.

Imported by Merchant du Vin, the beer comes in a hearty 16.9-ounce bottle.<\/p>\n<p>Pinkus Jubilate is called a dark lager, but it\u2019s more of a chestnut hue. The beer has a beguiling nose, a grassy, herbal, yeasty swirl with light notes of toffee and chocolate. I realized, taking a whiff of this one, that it had been a while since I\u2019d had a good malty lager. I was seduced pretty easily just by sticking my nose in the glass.<\/p>\n<p>The palate is predominately a kiss of caramel malt, more friendly than amorous, as the Hallertau and Tettnang hops kick in brightly for a crisp, clean and lightly spicy finish. It\u2019s not a beer that will knock you off your feet, but it should leave you smiling contentedly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/tombedell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2010\/12\/pinkus-ext-wtruck.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1106 alignleft\" title=\"pinkus ext wtruck\" src=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/tombedell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2010\/12\/pinkus-ext-wtruck.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a>The Munster brewery was founded in 1816 by Johannes M\u00fcller and his wife Frederika Cramer.
