🌍 Germany · Pale Ale · One of 180 Pale Ales in hopIQ

Bierfee pink goes back to a collaboration between the brewmistress of the house and two colleagues, and is brewed with spelt malt alongside barley. It pours a hazy amber orange under a cream-coloured head. Aroma hops carry mandarin, peach and bitter orange, with a resinous trace behind them. A second fermentation on a sparkling-wine yeast eats up the residual sugar, so the close lands dry and the light bitterness fades quickly.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bierfee pink

Appearance

Bierfee pink presents a hazy amber-orange body beneath a persistent cream-coloured head with good adhesion to the glass. The cloudiness derives from suspended particles rather than sediment, lending an inviting, slightly opaque character. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, supporting the head's lasting presence.

Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—mandarin and bitter orange—layered with pronounced stone fruit, particularly peach. A resinous undertone runs through the bouquet, suggesting an assertive hop character typical of the Pale Ale style. These aromatic elements sit cleanly atop the spelt and barley malts, with no yeasty or sulphurous distractions.

Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with the spelt malt contributing a subtle grainy sweetness that evolves into peachy and citrus notes mid-palate. Bitterness emerges gently—neither aggressive nor lingering—allowing the fruity hop character to remain the focal point. The dry finish from the sparkling-wine yeast fermentation prevents any cloying sweetness, leaving a refreshing, balanced impression.

Finish

The finish is clean and relatively brief, with the secondary fermentation's drying effect pulling away residual sugar swiftly. A whisper of resin lingers momentarily before fading, inviting another sip without dominating the palate.

How to get the most out of Bierfee pink

Serve at 7–10°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
