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

A golden, malt-forward lager brewed with an original gravity of 12.6 °P, stronger and fuller than the brewery's pilsners. The malt sets the tone with notes of bread, cereal and a soft malt sweetness, while a mild, balanced hop note from Tettnang and Hallertau varieties adds a gentle spicy and floral edge. The body is round and smooth, the bitterness restrained, and the finish turns slightly dry with a soft malt echo.

Aroma

The nose leads with soft malt character—fresh bread crust, cereal grain, and a gentle sweetness—backed by delicate noble-hop florals. Tettnang and Hallertau varieties contribute subtle spice and herbal notes without aggressive bittering aromatics. Clean fermentation allows the malt and hops to shine in balance.

Taste

Entry is smooth and malt-centered, with bread-like grain flavors and a soft malt sweetness that fills the palate without cloying. Mid-palate remains round and full-bodied, with restrained bittering and gentle spice from the Hallertau and Tettnang hops providing structure. The body is clean and well-defined, never heavy.
