Kulmbacher Export

Today's beer is the Kulmbacher Export.  Export beers are a pale lager developed in the Ruhr valley region of Germany  as competition to the Czech Pilsner and the Munich Helles, this brewing type also allowed the beers to stay fresher longer and be "exported" further from their breweries.

It pours a very pale golden with about an inch of white foamy head ( I missed it in the picture because Shantel had taken the battery out of the camera to charge.)That leave a fine tracery on the edge of the glass.  Lots of carbonation is visible throughout the body.  The aroma is faintly sweet and the taste is initially malty with a light hops finish.  Not a bad beer but also not one of my favorites.
