HopHeadSaid: Dortmunder Exports are characterized by their balance. Everything from its color and aroma to its mouthfeel and flavor is in balance.  This medium-bodied beer pours crystal clear, light to deep gold in color and produces a long lasting head.  A sweet malty aroma is void of any fruity esters but a light noble hop –herbal or spicy - aroma balances it.  The initial malt sweetness is balanced by a crisp medium carbonation and a light hop bitterness that lingers after each drink.

As a side note, export is a beer strength category. Historically “export” meant the beer had a higher alcohol content, which provides extra stability in shipping the beer long distances, but almost always an “export” beer it is charged a higher tax in its home country because of the elevated alcohol content.
