Beer review: Moritz Epidor (7.2% Spain: Cervezas Moritz)

The Moritz Epidor is a lager, more specifically a strong pale lager. It's brewed by Cervezas Moritz, a Spanish brewery located in Barcelona, Spain and founded in 1856. The Epidor is based on an recipe from 1923 and was relaunched in 2009. Today the Moritz beers are produced under license in the brewery La Zaragozana, in Saragossa.

Taste: The Moritz Epidor is a medium-bodied beer with a sweet bready malt body. The beer features a wide set of aromas: a fruity, caramel and a surprising, nice aftertaste of liquorice. The bitter aftertaste of alcohol increases as the beer gets warmer. The beer ends with a faint herbal hoppiness.

Overall, the Moritz Epidor is a really nice, sophisticated beer with quite a wide selection of aromas. It doesn't achieve a position among the legends of beer but it's definitely a nice choice if you find it in a bar.
