Moritz Fiege Gründer
Gründer, meaning founder, is the brewery's export lager and recalls the beginnings of the family business in 1878. A blend of pale malt and caramel malt forms the base; Herkules bitters, and Tradition and Saphir contribute aroma. The beer is golden and clear. Its character leans on the malt: bread, light caramel and cereal come through first, followed by subtle herbal and spicy hop notes. Body is fuller than in the Pils, and the finish is rounded with a moderate bitterness.
