Germany·Export
Tap to rate

Mildly spicy, with a hint of honey on a fresh, spicy nose and a harmonious taste that is mild and spicy at once. Tettnang aroma hops and two-row barley are balanced to get there. A deep golden yellow with a fine-pored head. Farny has brewed this export-style beer since September 1997, following an original recipe from the 1920s.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fresh, spicy notes characteristic of Tettnang aroma hops, followed by a subtle honey undertone that adds sweetness without cloying. Two-row barley contributes a clean, grainy foundation beneath the noble hop character. The overall impression is balanced and inviting, with no aggressive alcohol or off-notes.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a harmonious interplay of mildness and spice, with Tettnang hops providing restrained biterness (22 IBU) and a gentle floral dryness. Honey and soft malt backbone create roundness without heaviness, while the crisp, clean finish prevents any cloying sensation. The beer maintains excellent balance throughout, allowing each component to speak without dominating.
