Leichter Moritz

Tap to rate

Leichter Moritz is the brewery's light beer at 2.6 per cent, brewed in the Pilsner manner. The grist combines Pilsner and pale caramel malt, and only aroma hops are used: Perle from the Hallertau and Tettnanger from Lake Constance. The beer pours bright pale gold with a white head. The nose is spicy, with light hop aroma over bready malt. The palate is mild and slender, with a hint of caramel sweetness and a faintly fruity touch before a clean finish with gentle hop bitterness.
