Moritz BaPA

Tap to rate

A top-fermented pale ale that feels silky and balanced on the palate, with plenty of hop aroma and a very fruity yeast character. It is brewed with barley malt, wheat malt and oats. Five hops, one from each continent, underline the cosmopolitan side of Barcelona, the city where Moritz has been brewing since 1856.
