Can: Apple and bitter cardboard aromas. Pale, weak head. Now I know were the recycling paper collected in Germany goes...

Bottle looks very simple. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Starts mild, modest dry, a bit spicy. Finish well balanced, too mild for an export. Should be more spicy. Too pils-like.

Das Export aus Bremen gibt sich im Geruch säuerlich mit angedeuteter Karamell-Note. Im Antrunk ist es wässrig. Dem folgt eine säuerlich-herbe Mitte mit einem leicht herben Abgang. Bei diesem Bier vermisse ich die Malzigkeit eines typischen Exports. Im warsten Sinne des Wortes ein "sauer Bier" und deshalb keine ernsthafte Konkurrenz zum Kronen Export.Test vom 30.10.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche

Bottle. Strong smell of malt, hops are also quite big, a little bit sour. Large white creamy head, which disappears unfortunately quite fast. Yellow body. The taste is a little bit bitter, medium duration. Dry and creamy, light body, soft carbonation. Not bad, normal average.

Bottle, 5.4%. Clear golden colour, sparkling. Clean flavour, quite rough hoppiness. The finish is OK malty and clean.

(33cl bottle) Clear, yellow colour with a foamy white, medium-sized head. Herbal hoppy, slightly grassy nose with a slightly strawy and perfumed malty background. Light-sweet flavour, strawy malty base, faint hops in the background; quite slim, malt-accented finish with a very faint bitterness and a light acidity. Profane.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very pale golden with a small head. Very soft and pleasant with some sweet, malty notes. Low bitterness and high drinkability. 260200

not bad. but quite week in most regards. whats an export anyway?

Light body, pretty malty flavour, but still balanced by a fine bitterness. Easy to drink.
