European / Dortmunder Export Lager

Dortmunder Export is a pale lager that originated in Dortmund, Germany in the late 19th century as a response to Pilsner's popularity. It's characterized by a medium body with a balanced malt sweetness and moderate hop bitterness, typically brewed with German noble hops, Pilsner malt, and hard water with high mineral content that gives it a distinctive firm, rounded character.
