Is Pinter beer actually any good once it's in your glass?

How the Pinter 3 actually brews and pours a fresh pint

Here's what I'd want to know first: the Pinter isn't a fridge with a spigot, it's a closed pressurised vessel that does the actual brewing. You tip a Pinter Pack, the pre-measured ingredients, into the unit through the Fresh Press, seal it, and leave it somewhere at room temperature to ferment. That part takes days, not minutes, because yeast needs time to turn sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide, and there's no shortcut for that without ruining the flavour. Once fermentation finishes, the whole unit goes into the fridge to condition between zero and four degrees, which is where the beer clears and settles into something drinkable instead of yeasty and rough. The clever bit, and the reason this beats a basic homebrew kit, is the Active Pour Tap. Most pressurised dispensers give you one setting: full blast, foam everywhere. This one lets you open the tap by degrees, so a light crack gives a slow trickle and a full turn gives you draft-speed flow. That's the difference between pouring a pint for yourself and pouring one for someone who'll judge the head on it. On select brews there's also the Hopper, which drops fresh hops into the beer partway through the process, the same trick a brewery uses to get that bright, resinous smell into a batch that would otherwise taste flatter. Ten days after you started, you're not defrosting a six-pack, you're tapping something that finished conditioning that morning.
