Mohrenbräu Export

Tap to rate

A solid malt base with faint caramel tones and a touch of honey, mild-spicy in character. The name goes back to the idea that stronger beers travel better, even if the journey only led to the next town. A lager of 5.0% and 11.7° Stammwürze, brewed from water, barley malt, hops and hop extract.

◐ Taste

The palate is firmly malt-driven, with a bready, slightly sweet mid-palate that echoes the caramel and honey suggested on the nose. Mild spice from Edelhopfen provides gentle structure and a whisper of bitterness (25 IBU), keeping the beer from cloying despite its malty nature. The overall impression is smooth and clean, with a crisp finish that refreshes without astringency.
