🌍 Germany · Export · One of 10 Exports in hopIQ

Conceived after 1945 as an export beer and kept in the range since as the stronger everyday option: 5.4 percent from 12.5 degrees Plato, with bitterness lower than the pilsner at 24 units. Shining yellow-gold with a fine, persistent head. The nose brings green summer apple, a trace of honey, light roast and herb notes. The palate is full, with malt sweetness and aromatic hops rounding it off.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Export

Appearance

Bright yellow-gold with excellent clarity and luminosity. A fine, persistent white head forms with good retention and lacing, speaking to proper carbonation and malt body. The visual character is clean and inviting, befitting a classic export lager.

Aroma

The nose opens with green summer apple and a delicate honey note, followed by subtle light roast and herbaceous undertones. Noble hop aromas provide a restrained floral-herbal backdrop without dominating. The overall impression is fresh and balanced, with no sharp alcohol or solvent notes.

Taste

Full-bodied and malty on entry, with pronounced sweetness from well-resolved grain that carries through the mid-palate. Aromatic hops and a trace of honey provide balance without aggressive bitterness; at 24 IBU, the finish dries gently rather than sharply. The structure is clean and well-integrated, with no rough edges.

Finish

The finish is moderately long and clean, with honey and light malt lingering on the palate. A subtle herbal dryness emerges without becoming astringent, leaving the mouth refreshed and ready for the next sip.
