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

Ott's 'enjoyable experience' — a golden-yellow full-bodied export lager with subtle hop bitterness. Brewed with mountain spring water at 12.4° Stammwürze; sits between the Edel-Pils's hop lead and the Obaladara's malt weight without leaning either way.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Ott Export-Bier

Appearance

Bright golden-yellow with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. The head builds with moderate density and displays crisp, persistent lacing that clings to the glass with each sip. Light catches the body with an almost luminous quality typical of well-crafted export lagers.

bright goldencrisp lacingfine carbonationclear

Aroma

Clean, understated nose emphasizing soft cereal and bready notes from the Malz. Subtle Edelhopfen character emerges as a light herbal whisper, while delicate floral and honey undertones suggest the mineral character of mountain spring water. The profile sits in studied equilibrium—neither hop-forward nor malt-dominated.

Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied despite the moderate 5.3% ABV, with malty sweetness establishing the palate's foundation. Mid-palate builds a bready, slightly honeyed character that flows seamlessly into restrained hop bitterness (28 IBU)—present enough to cleanse without asserting itself. The overall impression is one of balance and cleanliness, refreshing without sharp edges.
