Wrexham Export

Tap to rate

Light honey and floral notes on the nose, then a sweet, malty flavour with malt and hop in balance, low bitterness and dry grain in the finish: smooth and fresh for its 5% strength. The Export is a slightly stronger take on the original Wrexham recipe, and in July 2023 the brewery announced bottles for every Aldi store in Wales.

◐ Taste

The palate presents a well-balanced sweetness and malty fullness that unfolds smoothly across the mid-palate. Hop bitterness remains restrained and measured, allowing the Malz character to remain prominent without becoming cloying. The mouthfeel is light yet satisfying, with good structural integration for its modest alcohol strength.
