Rappen Export

Tap to rate

Rappen Export puts malt ahead of hops: the aroma and the palate both lean malty in this golden, easy-drinking beer. It is brewed by Brauerei Rapp in Kutzenhausen, a family-owned brewery west of Augsburg, whose own delivery service runs a fleet of 200 trucks to around 250,000 households across southern Germany.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean, moderately sweet malt character—hints of grain and subtle bread notes dominate without aggressive hop presence. Noble hop varieties provide a restrained, refined background that complements rather than challenges the malty foundation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, rounded malt entry that builds gently through the mid-palate with bready, grainy depth. Bitterness remains measured at 25 IBU, settling into a clean, balanced finish that never turns harsh—this is a beer built for approachability and repetition rather than complexity.
