Mohrenbräu Hopfenplotz

Tap to rate

Resin and forest greet the nose with a faint honey note, hop-forward; the palate is full, with honey tones and a crisp yet pleasant bitterness, and the finish lingers on bitter. Brewed in the Creativ Brauerei, only 1 hl at a time, with Polaris, Cascade and Calypso (dry-hopped), York ale yeast, pale ale and Cara-Amber malts, at 7.2% and 16.3° Stammwürze.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent resinous and forest-floor hop character, underpinned by a subtle honey sweetness from the pale ale and Cara-Amber malts. The dry-hop addition of Polaris, Cascade, and Calypso creates a complex, layered bouquet with hints of citrus and tropical fruit alongside earthy undertones.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and engaging, with honey and malt sweetness providing balance against a crisp, well-integrated bitterness that builds through the mid-palate. The York ale yeast contributes clean fermentation character, allowing the hop profile to shine without astringency.

◑ Finish

A lingering bitter aftertaste persists pleasantly, driven by the hop resins rather than any harsh edge. The finish remains dry and refreshing, inviting another sip.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
