Low to medium German or Czech hop aroma. Malt aroma is moderate. Light gold to medium gold, clear with a noticeable white head. Neither malt nor hops are distinctive, but both are in good balance with a touch of sweetness, providing a smooth yet crisply refreshing beer.
Balance continues through the finish and the hop bitterness lingers in aftertaste.
Clean, no fruitiness or esters. A style indigenous to the Dortmund industrial region, Export has been on the decline in Germany in recent years. Brewed to a slightly higher starting gravity than other light lagers, providing a firm malty body and underlying maltiness to complement the sulfate-accentuated hop bitterness.
