Moritz Fresquíssima is a vibrant American Pale Ale that captures the raw, lively essence of the harvest. By utilizing fresh hops delivered directly from the field to the fermentation tank, this beer offers an intense aromatic profile defined by bright citrus zest, tropical stone fruit, and a distinctive grassy, chlorophyll-rich freshness characteristic of undried hops. The palate is crisp and refreshing, balancing a firm hop bitterness against a clean, bready malt backbone. Its hazy appearance and soft mouthfeel emphasize its unfiltered, farm-to-glass nature, resulting in a sessionable yet complex ale that celebrates peak hop potency and immediate freshness.
Appearance.Pours a pale golden to light amber color (approx. 6-8 SRM). Distinctly cloudy or hazy in appearance, deviating from the style's typical clarity to showcase the fresh hop oils. It is crowned by a moderately large, creamy white head with excellent retention and lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma with dominant notes of grapefruit, fresh-cut grass, and floral blossoms. Low, neutral grainy maltiness supports the hop-forward profile, while light fruity esters add a subtle layer of complexity without overshadowing the fresh hop character.
Taste.The flavor leads with a burst of citrus peel and resinous pine, followed by a light, biscuity malt sweetness. Bitterness is moderate to firm (contextually 35-45 IBU) and well-integrated. The finish is dry and clean, leaving a lingering, leafy hop aftertaste that avoids harshness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, lending a crisp, effervescent quality. Very light alcohol warmth is present but subtle, contributing to the beer's overall drinkability.
