Exportbier

Tap to rate

Light in colour, this Exportbier is described by the brewery as noble-spicy and malty, aromatic and full-bodied. It reaches 5.5% ABV from an original gravity of 12.4%. Freiberg beer was known and sought after far beyond the Saxon mining town early on, so the export beer was brewed stronger to keep longer on the road to its customers.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Exportbier

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that clings to the glass in fine lace patterns. The carbonation is lively and persistent, creating a steady stream of fine bubbles that maintains the foam's presence throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warm, grainy Malz character accented by subtle herbal and spicy notes from noble hops. A faint bready quality emerges beneath, suggesting a clean fermentation with no yeast-derived esters or sulfur compounds.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with pronounced malty sweetness and a light grain-derived bread note across the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness from Edelhopfen provides structural support without dominating; the overall impression is crisp and refreshing despite the substantial body.
