🌍 Germany · Dortmunder Export · One of 24 Dortmunder Exports in hopIQ

Lübzer Export is the brewery's bottom-fermented Vollbier, aimed at drinkers who want a fuller malt profile than the Pils offers. At 5.2 percent it is slightly stronger, and the brewery singles out its spicy, malt-driven character. It pours a clear, full gold. On the nose come soft bread, light honey and a trace of toasted grain; the palate is round and malty with a gentle sweetness, backed by a restrained, slightly spicy hop bitterness that keeps the finish from turning cloying.

Taste

The palate is full and round with a pronounced malty sweetness that defines the mid-palate experience. A restrained but distinctly spicy hop bitterness emerges to counterbalance the sweetness, keeping the beer from becoming cloying while maintaining the full-bodied, bready character that defines the Dortmunder style.
