Paderborner Export

Tap to rate

Brewed to 12.6 % original gravity, the Export is the fuller, softer counterpart to the pils. It is strong golden yellow and bright with a large, fine-pored white head. The taste is mildly spicy and full-bodied, yet still fresh and lively. Hopping is deliberately restrained, so bitterness stays in the background and the beer comes across as soft and rounded.
