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

Guld Tuborg was originally developed for export and launched on the home market in 1895; in Denmark it is known as the golden lady. Brewed from water, barley malt, barley and hops, it is crystal-clear golden yellow with a platinum-blond head. The nose brings warming, sweetish malt with light fruit notes and a hint of fennel. The palate is full and malty, set against a crisp, fresh bitterness, with a dry richness and a lively close.
