Steinbach Bräu Export

Steinbach Bräu
Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Export · One of 13 Exports in hopIQ

An export brewed to an old recipe, bottom-fermented and highly attenuated, strong and malt-aromatic in the taste. Full-bodied without turning sweet, with a fine hop note on the finish — the Export style in its regional Franconian interpretation, not the northern German kind. Unusually present at the front for a 5.2% beer.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Steinbach Bräu Export

Appearance

A pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with visible lacing as the beer is consumed. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a gentle effervescence that supports the foam structure throughout the drinking experience.

Aroma

The nose leads with clean malt character—bread crust and subtle honey notes emerge distinctly from the bottom fermentation. Noble hops provide a restrained, refined background presence without dominating, allowing the malt-driven profile to remain the focal point.

Taste

The palate opens with full, rounded malt sweetness balanced by crisp attenuation that prevents cloying character. Mid-palate delivers biscuit and cereal notes with a smooth, medium body that belies the modest ABV. A fine hop bitterness emerges on the finish, restrained yet present, with noble hop spice adding complexity without harshness.

Finish

The finish is clean and moderately persistent, with the hop note lingering pleasantly without becoming overly dry. A subtle honey sweetness retreats gracefully, leaving the palate refreshed and inviting another drink.
