Righto I shall have to read up on 'Export' as a kind of beer really..
So it is a bottom-fermented beer. This fermenting apparently has only been used since the 15th century and the beer was used for exporting as it stays fresh longer than other beerses.
Also it traditionally was brewed a bit stronger than beer thought to be kept local as it could then be mixed with water once it reached the destination it was shipped to.
Like the other bottles, this one depicts an old sepia photo on the upper part of the label, with the name of the brew o the lower half. Again also a traditional cap. While the designated color of the Pils was green, the chosen color for the Export is, apparently red. At least that's the background of the 'Export' writing on the smaller label around the bottleneck.I went for the same glass as for the Pils yesterday, mainly as I have no idea what a good Export glass would be.
Colorwise it is a bit more golden than the Pils which was more yellow, though that might be, because I am indoors.
It produces a nice head, with big bubbles, which sadly dissipate relatively fast.
It smells very sweet strong, like a Bock actually. I usually dislike tasting or smelling the alcohol but we shall see. There also are sour/tart tones to be smelled.
Tastewise this is so far the best of the Schlappeseppels I had in the last days. The carbonation is a lot better and it also has a taste right from the beginning, not relying on it to set in later. The tartness mixes nicely with the yeast and bitter tones and though I expected otherwise, I can't much taste the alcohol. The taste sensation mainly happens on the tip of the tongue which also is nice, compared to all those that mainly play with the bitterness receptors on the back.
Prost!
