🌍 Germany · Dortmunder Export · One of 39 Dortmunder Exports in hopIQ

Binding Export is the maltier counterpart to the brand's pilsner: a bottom-fermented export lager brewed to 12.3 °P original gravity. It is bright gold in colour with a firm white head. Bread crust and light caramel lead the aroma, backed by a faint toasted note that the brewery calls a malty roast accent. The body is fuller and slightly sweeter than in the pilsner, the hop bitterness stays in the background, and the finish is spicy, rounded and of moderate length.
