Tap to rate

Soft, malty in aroma and lightly bitter, this golden-yellow Premium Export is carried by a full body. It comes from the regional Frankfurter brand and is brewed under the Reinheitsgebot in Frankfurt (Oder), where Carthusian monks were refining brewing by 1396 and the Oderland brewery restarted the tradition in 1988. Original gravity is 11.9 °P, alcohol 5.2% ABV. The Frankfurter beers present themselves as “Echt Brandenburg”.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Frankfurter Export

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow hue with excellent clarity and bright radiance. A firm, off-white head forms readily and leaves defined lacing as the beer is consumed. Fine carbonation supports a steady, well-retained collar throughout the tasting.

◌ Aroma

Soft malt-forward nose with gentle cereal and bread notes at the forefront. Noble hops provide a restrained, herbal undertone that complements rather than dominates. The overall aromatic profile is clean and inviting, free from fermentation esters or coarse grain characteristics.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied entry with rounded, grainy-sweet Malz character that carries through the mid-palate. Moderate bittering from Edelhopfen balances the malt sweetness without sharpness; the finish remains smooth and clean. The bitterness is refined and integrated, never harsh, allowing the underlying grain complexity to emerge.
