Karlsberg Export

◎ Aussehen

A bright golden hue with excellent clarity and lively carbonation. The head forms with good density and displays steady retention, leaving fine lacing on the glass as it subsides. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, characteristic of a well-crafted export lager.

◌ Aroma

The nose presents a balanced interplay of noble hop character and soft malt undertones. Subtle spice notes emerge from the Edelhopfen, while the higher original gravity contributes a light, grainy sweetness without heaviness. No aggressive alcohol warmth or yeast-driven esters dominate the profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with a mild, slightly sweet malt foundation that reflects the 12.2 °P original gravity. Mid-palate shows restrained spice and a gentle hop bitterness—the 28 IBU sits comfortably between a soft and assertive threshold, providing structure without sharp edges. The malt character remains the primary anchor throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and relatively quick, with the bitterness fading smoothly. A dry, slightly spicy aftertaste lingers briefly, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
