Moritz Fiege Pilsbock

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate lacework. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, lending visual presence without aggressive bubbling. The colour sits at the lighter end of the Maibock spectrum, reflecting the restrained use of caramel malt.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a spicy, herbal hop character—Saphir and Tettnanger assert themselves with floral, slightly resinous notes. Beneath lies a light fruity undertone that echoes the lager yeast's clean fermentation, complemented by a subtle sweetness from the Pilsner and caramel malt base. There is no harsh alcohol impression; the 7.8% ABV remains restrained in the bouquet.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and substantial, with a bready malt core that unfolds into layered complexity. Mid-palate reveals a gentle caramel sweetness balanced against firm herbal and floral hop bitterness; the 36 IBU measure proves sufficient to anchor the beer without drying it excessively. The finish remains lengthy, with the malt structure and hop character holding through to the aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The finish is sustained and satisfying, with a dry hop impression lingering on the palate alongside a faint caramel sweetness. The beer closes with composure, its elevated alcohol providing gentle warmth without heat.

Serve at 12–16°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
