Moritz Fiege Pils

Brewed by Privatbrauerei Moritz Fiege
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Bochum, Germany

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

Bottle, 50 cl: Straw-yellow beer with a lush white head and a fresh, slightly sweet aroma of malt, grain and grass. The flavor is moderately sweet and mild bitterness. The body is light, soft texture, carbonation average. Dry hoppy bitter finish. A nice textbook German pils.

Swing Top Bottle 50cl. Nice dry but complex Pilsener. A cut above the rest.

My Bottom Line :
Grassy, herbal hops follow through from aroma to bitterness to spruce up this prickly German Pilsener’s lean honeyed pils malts.

Further Personal Perceptions :
-A seductive head of foam tops the sparkling pale golden, not lacing much though.
-Even though this is a textbook German Pils, it does have more character than the average through the coherent expression of both malts and hops in the flavor profile.
-This is obviously well balanced.
-Light citrusy and earthy hop accents appear here and there.
-That hoppy finish is quite welcoming. I want more than a pint! Which is the point, right?

Bottle. Thx Günther!

Würziger und herber Geruch. Der Geruch spiegelt zu 100% den Geschmack des Bieres wieder. Zuerst ist es erfrischend herb, der würzige Teil zeigt sich dagegen erst im Nachgeschmack, unterstützt von einem leichten Malzaroma. Mein 3. Moritz Fiege Bier und damit das 3., was mich überzeugen kann! Test vom 20.9.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 13,13,12,13,10,12 - 12,30

50cl bottle. Poured pale golden with a frothy nice looking white head. Aroma is malty and grassy, flavor is malty, grassy and quite hoppy. Dry finish. Nice pilsener! Very drinkable.

Upshot? A medium-dry German pils, with excellent bitterness. Very fresh from Wine of Dreams, bb mid-July 2011. Medium gold solid color, no bright yellowness. Saltine and herby flowers and big grassy aromas are huge here. Very nice. Nice body, nice lacing, good maintained carbonation. Flavor is hugely bready but natural and the alcohol is nowhere to be felt. Moderate-to-heavy bitterness. Doesn’t get too sticky but maybe a little close at the end, yet there is also a well-handled but still watery finish. Yeah, I didn’t like the watery palate at the end of the beer.

500ml bottle from Erzengel. Pale gold, clear, thick white head. Decent lemony hop with some yeast on the aroma too . Just a little bit of metal too. Quite full in the mouth which is pleasant. OK lemon hop on finish and some carbonation sting. Its fine if a little metallic and thin.

Bottle. Light yellow, small and almost fully diminishing head. Light to moderate malty and sweetish aroma, some grassy hoppyness. Body is light to medium, malty flavor with some sweetness and grassy hoppyness. Finish is average, malty and dryish with nice hoppy bitterness. Quite watery but nicely hopped pils.
