Wimitz Pale Ale

Tap to rate

Peach and a hint of pineapple on the nose; on the first sip a clear hop bitterness, a creamy, fruity mouthfeel and subtle malt notes, with exotic grapefruit and peach running through a fruity, bitter character. The 'hopfiger FreiSchütz' stands godfather to this beer and, with a well-aimed arrow, looses hop notes on nose and palate. Master brewer Martin Egi likes to end his brewing day with a Wimitz Pale Ale.

Serve at 7–10°C

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.

Pint glass

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

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
