hopIQ found 10 beers with the same malty and honey character as Herforder Export. Herforder Export follows the classic German export type, which lost ground to pilsner from the 1970s onward. The brewery uses pale specialty malts, a traditional fermentation and four weeks of cold lagering, at 12 percent original gravity and with only a light hop bitterness. The result is rounded and malt-led, with bread dough, a honeyed sweetness and a soft grainy body, followed by a restrained hop bite in the finish. Tasters note it as fuller and sweeter than the pilsner. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
