From the Dortmund industrial region of Germany, this style was created for the hard working class citizens that live there. Dortmunder Export is somewhat of a cross between the Pilsner malt sweetness of a Helles, the spicy Saaz hop aroma of a Bohemian Pilsner, and the firm bitterness of a German Pilsner. We use Tettnang hops for bittering, Hallertau Mittelfruh hops for flavor, and Saaz hops for aroma. “Export” is a beer strength category in Germany. High mineral water adjustments bring out the malt and hop character known of this style. Pours deep gold with a lingering white head.
