Mohrenköpfle

Haller Löwenbräu
Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Amber Lager · One of 41 Amber Lagers in hopIQ

Mohrenköpfle takes its name from the nickname of the Schwäbisch-Hällisches Landschwein, a local pig breed that has returned to Hohenlohe and is pictured on the label. Brewed from Pilsner, Munich and roasted malt and hopped with Hallertauer Taurus and Perle, it glows amber. Caramel and toasted bread crust lead the nose and palate, joined by a light caramel sweetness and a full, spicy malt body, while the hops stay mild and show mainly in the finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted bread crust and caramel malt—earthy, biscuity notes that speak to careful grain selection and kilning. A soft sweetness underlies the malt-forward profile, while Hallertauer Taurus and Perle hops emerge gently in the background, contributing mild herbal and spicy undertones without dominating the composition.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with the promised caramel sweetness and toasted malt character taking center stage immediately. The mid-palate develops a rich, spicy malt backbone from the blend of Pilsner, Munich, and roasted malts, while hop bitterness remains restrained at 22 IBU, serving as a gentle counterweight rather than assertion. The overall impression is of balanced, malt-driven clarity with enough hop presence to prevent one-dimensionality.

◑ Finish

The finish extends with moderate length, allowing the hop character—primarily from the Taurus and Perle—to emerge more distinctly as the malt sweetness recedes. A dry, slightly spicy aftertaste lingers pleasantly without becoming harsh or metallic.
