DAB Export is a Dortmunder Export, a German lager style that sits a notch stronger and maltier than a standard pils, pale gold with a firm white head.

The malt comes through clean and slightly sweet on the nose and in the mouth, balanced by a moderate hop bitterness rather than an aggressive one. Carbonation is brisk and the body is medium, giving it a bit more presence on the tongue than a standard lager, with a finish that stays rounded rather than sharp and a touch more weight than a plain pils.

Drink it cold from a tall glass, and treat it the way you would any lager of this style - fresh, young and well chilled, rather than kept, since that malt character is best early.
