🌍 Germany · Kellerbier · One of 139 Kellerbiers in hopIQ

Moritz Fiege Zwickel is an unfiltered cellar beer that keeps its natural haze and suspended yeast. It is brewed from Pilsner malt and caramel malt and hopped with Herkules, Tradition and Saphir. In the glass it is deep gold and lightly cloudy. The nose brings grain, caramel malt and a faint note of forest honey; the palate is full and gently spicy, with soft malt sweetness giving way to a restrained hop bitterness and a slightly bready finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with clean grain and caramel malt character, followed by a subtle note of forest honey. Hop aromatics remain understated, contributing a faint herbal whisper beneath the malt base. The yeast presence is discreet, adding a slight breadiness without dominating the profile.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and welcoming, with soft malt sweetness from the caramel contribution providing a rounded foundation. Mid-palate reveals a gentle spiciness, likely from the Herkules and Saphir hops, leading into a restrained bitterness that integrates rather than asserts. The finish carries a light breadiness from the yeast, with drying bitterness lingering pleasantly.
