🌍 Germany · Dortmunder Export · One of 27 Dortmunder Exports in hopIQ

Locally the Export is known as the Kerwa festival beer, and its release tells regulars that the village fair is near. It is a straw-yellow lager at 13.7 °P, hopped with varieties from the Hallertau and Spalt growing regions. The palate is soft yet clearly malty, with notes of fresh bread, cereal and light biscuit. A fine hop aroma, herbal and slightly floral, and a light bitterness round it off, leaving an overall impression that is spicy, sweet and gently bitter in balance.

AI-generated sensory profile for Huppendorfer Export

Appearance

Luminous straw-yellow with excellent clarity and bright, white head that builds cleanly and clings to the glass with fine lacing. The carbonation is visible and lively, creating a steady stream of small bubbles that signals the beer's fresh, crisp character.

Aroma

The nose opens with soft, fresh-bread malt character, complemented by restrained, noble-hop florals and subtle herbal notes typical of Hallertau and Spalt varieties. A light spice note emerges beneath, suggesting the beer's underlying complexity without overwhelming the delicate balance.

Taste

The palate is soft and rounded, with prominent cereal and light biscuit maltiness at entry, followed by clean, measured hop bitterness in the mid-palate. The interplay of mild sweetness and spicy, herbal notes creates deliberate equilibrium—neither malt nor hops dominating—while maintaining an overall impression of refinement and approachability.
