Pinkus Müller, Hefe Weizen (Germany) 
(RP) An unfiltered wheat beer that is warm fermented, the Hefe Weizen is made from a blend of wheat malt (60%) and barley malt (40%) and Tettnanger hops. It is krausened in the bottle to encourage a second fermentation. The beer is cloudy and pale with a big peppery aroma underscored by banana fruit and creamy malt. There is fruit, malt, gentle hops and spices in the mouth with a light but lingering finish that is peppery, fruity and malty with a light touch of hops.

Pinkus Müller, Original Alt (Germany)
(RP) Bioland Pilsner malt and Tettnanger hops from an organic zone of the vast Hallertau region of Bavaria are the raw materials for this beer. After primary fermentation with an ale yeast culture
the beer is stored or lagered for a remarkable five to seven months in horizontal tanks in the brewery cellars. A carefully controlled lactic yeast culture is added to give a hint of sourness and a touch of vinous fruit. The beer
is also krausened, which means a portion of partially-fermented wort is added to encourage a powerful second fermentation. The beer that emerges is pale with a hint of bronze and a thick and lively collar of foam. The aroma offers biscuity malt, tart fruit and gentle spicy hops. Juicy malt, tangy fruit and bitter hops dominate the mouth while the finish has enormous length with a touch of sourness, ripe fruit, toasted malt and pungent hops.

Pinkus Müller, Pils (Germany)
(RP) made with pale Pilsner malt and Tettnanger hops and aged in the cellars for at least two months, the
Pinkus Pils is a revelation in the age of bland and fizzy pale lagers. It is bronze/gold in colour and has an aroma of juicy malt, gentle hop resins and a surprising note of apricot fruit. There are herbal, bitter hops in the mouth with
toasted malt and rich fruit, followed by a bitter-sweet finish with ripe fruit, juicy malt and floral hops.

Pinkus Müller, Special (Germany)
(RP) Made with pale Pilsner malt and Tettnanger hops and aged in the cellars for three months, the Pinkus Special is extremely pale with a slight haze: it is not filtered at the end of maturation. It has a massive fruity aroma reminiscent of ripe pears, with toasted malt and floral hops. Bitter hop resins dominate the
palate with juicy malt and fruit, while the lingering finish has tart fruit, sweet malt and bitter hop resins. It is a wonderfully refreshing beer.
