A bright golden-yellow hue with excellent clarity and pale straw tones throughout. Fine-pearled carbonation rises steadily, building a white head with good schaumhaftung that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. The body presents as clean and luminous, characteristic of the Dortmunder Export style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with restrained noble hop character, primarily from Tettnanger Perle, offering herbal and delicate floral notes. Beneath this lies a subtle malty sweetness from the summer barley, with a light spiced undertone that adds complexity without dominating. Clean fermentation character allows the individual components to remain distinct and balanced.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and smooth, with a well-rounded malt foundation that enters sweet and slightly bready. Noble hops from Tettnanger Perle and Herkules develop mid-palate with a gentle herbal bite and dry spice character. The low IBU of 15 keeps bitterness restrained, allowing the interplay between malt and hop spice to remain harmonious and refreshing.
